Estimated Radiation Dosage on Mars

Estimated Radiation Dosage on Mars Estimated Radiation Dosage on Mars - The colors in the map refer to the estimated annual dose equivalent in rems, a unit of radiation dose.  The range is generally from 10 rems(color-coded dark blue) to 20 rems (color coded dark red).  Radiation exposure for astronauts on the International Space Station in Earth orbit is typically equivalent to an annualized rate of 20 to 40 rems.
