Radiation protection is one of the critical aspects of future manned missions to the Moon, Mars, and other deep-space destinations. The precise characterization of the space radiation environment and its interaction with the spacecraft shielding is a prerequisite for protecting astronauts from the adverse health effects of radiation exposure. In this paper, we present the RadMap Telescope, a technology-demonstration experiment whose main objective is to validate new radiation-sensing concepts for applications in manned and unmanned spacecraft. It comprises a mix of newly developed and flight-proven sensors that we will use to characterize the radiation environment inside the International Space Station (ISS).
