Environmental Risk Factors

RadiationHigh

X-ray and UV flux require hardened systems.

FlaringHigh

Frequent stellar flare timing drives mission windows.

Particle StormsHigh

Coronal mass ejection events increase system risk.

TemperatureModerate

Day/night variation remains uncertain.

Magnetic EnvironmentModerate

Shielding potential requires probe verification.

Surface GravityModerate

Long-term physiology still a constraint.
