Poster Title:  Magnetic protection from space radiation for manned Mars exploration
Poster Abstract: 
We propose radiation protection using Martian local magnetic field to protect human crews on the Martian surface. Mars has no inherent global magnetic field, but there is a local crustal magnetic field in the southern hemisphere. The Martian local magnetic field can change trajectories of space radiation and reduce harsh radiation exposure of human crews since the space radiation is mainly composed of protons and experience the Lorentz force. To validate the radiation protection using Martian local magnetic field, we have simulated the trajectories of energetic protons and obtained the impact rate on the Martian surface.
