NASA’s Mars exploration missions, MAVEN and Curiosity rover, will play a crucial role in studying the effects of solar flares on Martian robots and potential human explorers. MAVEN, managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, observes radiation, solar particles, and more from high above Mars. The thin Martian atmosphere can affect the intensity of the particles by the time they reach the surface. Curiosity rover, with its Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD), plays a crucial role in understanding the radiation effects on Mars’ surface.
