Giant Protective Blanket Designed for Astronauts Returning to the Moon

According to the US space net, NASA plans to return to the moon by 2020. For this purpose, many risk factors must be considered, including cosmic radiation. For astronauts who will carry out future lunar missions and need to stay in space for a long time, solar flares and strong cosmic rays can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer. In order to solve this problem, the engineering researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) proposed a plan to protect the astronauts with a "giant blanket".
