Space radiation is one of the major hazards for human health in space. Space radiation consists of various kinds of radiation including high energy heavy (HZE) ions; these complex radiation fields cannot be produced on the ground. In the International Space Station (ISS), exposure doses are approximately 200 times higher than on the Earth’s surface. On the Moon and Mars, the radiation level is high, due to HZE ions. While the ISS is in free fall, the Moon has 1/6, Mars 1/3 of Earth's gravity. Many aspects of the biological effect of the combination of the lower gravity environment and space radiation remain unclear. But the future mission is now being planned to go to the Moon and Mars. It is necessary to clarify the problem of biological effect and physical dosimetry and then to resolve them as soon as possible. With this thought, here we try to present a scenario of space radiation research for next decades.
