Probabilistic Forecasting of Radiation Exposure for Spaceflight
- 融合太阳全貌图像、X射线与辐射剂量数据,构建多模态时间序列模型
- 可提前预报太阳质子事件引发的辐射升高及后续衰减趋势
- 首次利用全盘太阳图像做辐射预测,适合深空任务辐射决策支持
人类未来在地球轨道外(BLEO)执行探月与火星任务将面临严峻挑战,其中主要健康威胁来自银河宇宙射线(GCRs)和太阳质子事件(SPEs)。GCRs持续存在但强度受调制,而SPEs更难预测,可在短时间内造成急性辐射暴露。目前美国宇航局(NASA)依赖分析工具进行实时监测以决定是否避险,但这种被动响应方式可通过提前数小时的预测模型显著改进。本文提出一种机器学习方法,基于多模态时间序列数据——包括太阳动力学观测台(SDO)的全盘太阳图像、GOES卫星的X射线通量以及阿尔忒弥斯1号任务中发射的生物感应卫星(BioSentinel)的辐射剂量测量数据——实现对BLEO辐射暴露的预测。据我们所知,这是首次将全盘太阳图像用于辐射暴露预测。实验表明,该模型能准确预报太阳质子事件引发的辐射上升阶段,并有效预测事件后的辐射衰减过程。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Extended human presence beyond low-Earth orbit (BLEO) during missions to the Moon and Mars will pose significant challenges in the near future. A primary health risk associated with these missions is radiation exposure, primarily from galatic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar proton events (SPEs). While GCRs present a more consistent, albeit modulated threat, SPEs are harder to predict and can deliver acute doses over short periods. Currently NASA utilizes analytical tools for monitoring the space radiation environment in order to make decisions of immediate action to shelter astronauts. However this reactive approach could be significantly enhanced by predictive models that can forecast radiation exposure in advance, ideally hours ahead of major events, while providing estimates of prediction uncertainty to improve decision-making. In this work we present a machine learning approach for forecasting radiation exposure in BLEO using multimodal time-series data including direct solar imagery from Solar Dynamics Observatory, X-ray flux measurements from GOES missions, and radiation dose measurements from the BioSentinel satellite that was launched as part of Artemis~1 mission. To our knowledge, this is the first time full-disk solar imagery has been used to forecast radiation exposure. We demonstrate that our model can predict the onset of increased radiation due to an SPE event, as well as the radiation decay profile after an event has occurred.
