There is no #radiation #shelter at the #LunarGateway but only instruments #measuring it.

"During a future #Artemis mission, if a solar ☀️ radiation squall were to occur while #astronauts are beyond #Earth’s magnetic bubble, they might tell the crew to #build a temporary shelter" https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2019/how-nasa-protects-astronauts-from-space-radiation-at-moon-mars-solar-cosmic-rays

#ESA’s IDA, instruments provided by #JAXA, will fly inside #HALO* to #study potential radiation inside #Gateway https://www.nasa.gov/feature/gateway-a-deep-space-home-and-so-much-more
