With NASA's Artemis program in place for lunar exploration and potential colonization of the Moon and Mars, the journey there will likely be one of great difficulty. Space radiation is one of the biggest challenges along the way, due to their harmful and penetrative rays. Deep space exploration can only be made possible by protecting against this radiation.

A garment that can be worn daily on route to the Moon and Mars to provide personal protection for astronauts against detrimental space radiation. Using an elasticized Kevlar material with additional Kevlar banding along the lines of non-extension, the garment enhances mobility of the astronaut. The fitted silhouette provides additional compression to combat the fluid disposition that occurs to the body when in zero gravity. Kevlar was the chosen material due to its radiation deflecting/absorbing properties that are much like polyethylene.
