Well not a lot actually. If there is a burst of radiation there is not a lot the can do about it. The people in side it will hide where there is the most space station between them and the radiation that includes hiding behind one an other. And for meteorites there is even less you can do about it besides moving out of the way. The station can protect itself from pea or pebble sized micrometeorites, thanks to its two separated layers of titanium alloy hull, but more than that and the station itself needs to maneuver out of the way or suffer huge amounts of damage.

∙ 13y agoA Space Orbiter has no special built-in protection against cosmic rays. This is because it is designed for short missions (so the crew are not exposed to cosmic radiation for long) in low Earth orbit under the van Allen Belts (which act as a shields against solar and cosmic radiation).

How are we protected from cosmic radiation from outer space?
The ozone layer protects us from the harmful radiations of the sun. This ozone layer is present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere.
Is outer space a conductor of heat?
Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.
Are gamma rays stronger than cosmic ray?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and they are the highest frequency form of that type of energy. They can be said to vibrate fastest. But cosmic rays are mostly protons, which are a form of particulate radiation. Comparing gamma rays to cosmic rays as regards frequency is not something we do.
How does cosmic background radiation provide evidence for the Big Bang theory?
The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) is an isotropic (to one part in 10,000) and continuous radiation from outer space, whose spectrum is identical to that of a blackbody at 2.7K . All of these absolute facts are easy to explain if one assumes Big Bang Cosmology to be true. Indeed, they were predicted by proponents of BBC 18 years before anyone looked for radiation from space. Nothing about CMBR -- not even its existence -- can be explained by any alternative to BBC. Those who deny BBC are reduced to stating, "I agree to the facts about CMBR, but I have absolutely no explanation for its existence, isotropy, or spectrum."
Radioactive carbon-14 is constantly being produced today how does this happen?
It is produced in the atmosphere, by radiation from outer space.
Electromagnetic radiation that comes from the outer space is?
Electromagnetic radiation that comes from outer space are called, Cosmic Rays.
How are we protected from cosmic radiation from outer space?

What does cosmic Illumination mean?
Cosmic Illimunation is what stars do...they illuminate...and since its cosmic that means outer space
The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
Radiotelescopes reveal that space is full of?
cosmic microwave background radiation.
A sentence for cosmic?
In the 1960s, microwave radiation was detected coming from space and no particular source, and this radiation was dubbed the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR).
What is called the fine particles of matter in outer space form cloud?
cosmic dust
Are astronauts' bodies affected by living in outer space for long periods of time?
Yes. There are many changes. Most notably, their muscles atrophy mainly because of weightlessness. Also, they are exposed to cosmic radiation.
How can astronauts protect from radiation?
Astronauts can be protected from radiation by their suits. The space suits are designed for it only.
How does the suns energy move through outer space?
Radiation.
How can you use cosmic in a sentence?
The word cosmic is an adjective describing something of or relating to the cosmos, relating to the whole universe; describes outer space or a part of the universe other than the Earth; occurring or originating in outer space; immeasurably extended in time and space; something of very great size or significance. A human is no more than a speck of dust in the cosmic universe.
What do distant supernova explosions release that is extremely dangerous to astronauts in outer space?
cosmic rays
