• RADIATION
THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE SOLVED IF WE REALLY WANT EFFICIENCY AND COHESION IN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT.

When the term is radiation, we don't just have a specific type, the side effects that can be caused are also different in relation to the type of radiation that the living being is inserted. Such are classified into ionizing, non-ionizing and electromagnetic.
As reported by G1, they are considered common side effects on a trip to Mars: reduced performance, loss of memory, conscience, and concentration during spaceflight can affect mission-critical activities and exposure to these particles can have adverse consequences of long-term to lifelong cognition.

There is an interesting theory about how life on earth came about that we should discuss carefully, called Panspermia. Talks about the life existing here having come from space.
Ideas concerning Panspermia now include mathematical treatments of the likelihood of transfer of life from Mars to Earth, the possibility of life transferring between the natural satellites of an outer planet such as Jupiter, and mathematical treatments and models of life migrating out of a Solar System.
However, at the heart of Panspermia is a mystery still unsolved: to migrate, life has to start somewhere, and we still can't face that moment of origin.

It is characteristic of a living being: genetic material, evolutionary framework, reproduction, response to stimuli and need for energy to carry out its metabolism. Thinking about it, are these beings only found on earth?
Not know that there are many studies to discover possible living beings beyond Earth, but little is known, also, about the life of beings that no longer exist on our planet. Bacteria and microorganisms are everywhere, even on other planets, but what could be their evolution is still not known for sure.

The bacterium in its global cell structure measures between 0.2 and 1.5 nm in length and has a rigid external envelope, called the bacterial wall, which determines the shape and protects the bacterium against physical aggressions from the environment.
The ‘Deinococcus’ bacterium is found on Earth and has been nicknamed “Conan the Bacteria” by scientists for its ability to survive cold, dehydration, and acids. It is known as the most radiation resistant life form in the Guinness Book of Records.

It is worth mentioning that according to ANIMA, the main scope is to differentiate the types of ionizing rays and highlight that cosmic rays offer risks that can be devastating for astronauts who, by virtue of their profession, are constantly exposed to them. There is no protection against cosmic radiation, which can have a violent and destructive effect on human beings.
Regarding radiation protection, it is correct to say that the objectives of protection against radiation are the prevention or reduction of its somatic effects and the reduction of the genetic deterioration of peoples, where the problem of chronic exposures acquires fundamental importance.

More than just a suit, the EMU is responsible for creating an adequate pressurized atmosphere, like a kind of balloon, in addition to guaranteeing oxygen and being able to expel carbon dioxide from breathing. The suit also needs to offer a comfortable temperature to the human body – in space, the temperature can vary from 120ºC to -100ºC
– and protect the astronaut from the high levels of radiation from the space environment.
Deinococcus radiodurans is a gram-positive extremophile bacterium that will be used to develop super armor to protect astronauts from radiation in space.
