Re: Radiation shielding for unmanned lander on Io

Hi

I am studying for an Astrophysics degree. I am carrying out a short
theoretical study considering the problems associated with placing an
" unmanned lander" on the surface (from the point of view of radiation
shielding ) on the surface of the Jovian moon Io. I know that
environment on Io contains extremely strong electromagnetic and
magnetic fields

Can you someone advise me:-

a) where I could find a relevant tutorial on the subject of radiation
shielding.
b) Suiggest links regarding the sort of the radiation protection
techniques required to avoid disruption the the on-bord electronic
intrumentation
c) Can I use the same type of shielding for both magnatic field and
elctromagnetic field
d) The strength of the fields to be expected on Io

Any advice on the topic would extremely appreciated

I'd be glad to help, but then you'd get summarily nuked by the lords
and wizards of this mostly anti-think-tank Usenet, that'll otherwise
claim to know all there is to know, with the only problem being that
they have no honest intentions of their ever sharing in much of
anything as specific as radiation issues.

Doesn't Io have an atmosphere?

BTW; if you're not sufficiently Jewish, as such your Usenet days of
obtaining such valid information are pretty much terminated from the
very get-go.
