Satellite mission tests shielding by Earth’s magnetotail
Satellite miles over the limar surface would be considered a success. The craft would spend two to three years in turn orbit studying radiation hazards and whether a cone-shaped tail could shield Apollo astronauts from solar radiation. No camera was aboard. Dr. Norman Ness said moon embedding in Earth's tail may not protect astronauts from large solar flares, and that spacecraft and suits likely provide adequate shielding.
