Mars Sample Return – Irradiation kinetics and geometrical integration

It is well known that naturally irradiated material exists in extraterrestrial (e.g. Mars, Venus). However, it is unknown that what constitutes reaction kinetics and energetics of such material. What will be effect of intense known (alpha, beta particles, gamma rays, neutrinos, quarks and other high energy cosmic particles) and unknown radiation (dose (amount), interval (periodicity), intensity) on such reactions and their aforementioned? How reaction kinetics, rate processes, energetics and mechanisms are affected (including mapping [1 – 2]) by such highly irradiation envelope (a mix of radioactive gases and unknowns) in very thin contrast? It bears direct relation with lift and movement (in a transient composition envelope) and is used to design machinery for interplanetary travel. This study discusses these in detail.
