Major environmental hazards confronting manned space flight are meteoroid damage to spacecraft and excessive biological doses to its crew from solar flares; combined influences of micrometeoroid and radiation environments on spacecraft design are analyzed; comparatively large weight penalties involved in providing adequate protection against these hazards stress importance of optimizing shield weights.
