As the International Space Station orbits 254 miles above Earth, its astronauts are kept safe from the sun’s radiation by something that research scientists develop in the lab – shielding against galactic cosmic radiation.

Without proper protection, astronauts would not be able to travel in space.

A new OSU-Tulsa chapter of the Materials Research Society will provide students an opportunity to develop leadership skills, network with professionals and keep up with advances in the field, said doctoral researcher Ranjan Singhal.
