Scientific paper

The radiation and meteoroid impact hazards associated with manned missions to Mars are examined. Computations are made of equivalent doses received by astronauts inside a spacecraft, a shelter, and during EVA are presented, and possible ways of reducing the radiobiological risk are discussed. Estimates are also made of the level of meteoroid impacts for a spacecraft that draws near to the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. The importance of the proper design and the mission scenario in providing a balanced protection against radiations and meteoroids is emphasized.
