They are definitely not giving a f^&* over radiation belts. Polaris dawn and now this one. But we need know orbit details to be sure.

A low orbit won't spend much time outside the belts, and they're not spending months in orbit.

They ran the calculations and while it’s not great, a few orbits is a very manageable risk. Wouldn’t want to be in a permanent space station up there though.
