The impact of exposure to astrophysical ionizing radiation on astronauthealth is one of the main concerns in planning crewed missions to Mars.Astronauts will be exposed to energetic charged particles from Galactic andSolar origin for a prolonged period with little protection from a thinspacecraft shield in transit and from the rarefied Martian atmosphere when onthe surface. Adverse impacts on astronaut health include, for example, AcuteRadiation Syndrome, damage to the nervous system, and increased cancer risk. Werely on medical studies to assess the impact of enhanced radiation dose levelson various physiological systems and the overall health of astronauts. Using acombination of radiation measurements and numerical modeling with the GEANT4package, we calculate the distribution of radiation dose in various human bodyorgans for various expected scenarios simulated with a model human phantom. Wesuggest mitigation strategies, such as improved ways of shielding and dietarysupplements, and make recommendations for the safety of astronauts in futurecrewed missions to Mars.
