A new model for long-term forecasting of Galactic cosmic rays

The episode discusses a new model for long-term forecasting of Galactic cosmic rays developed by researchers from Italy and Portugal. The hosts explain how this model shifts mission planning from static checklists to dynamic, adaptive processes by incorporating the rate of change in physical conditions. This allows engineers to design spacecraft resilient across a range of predictable conditions rather than just surviving the absolute worst case.
