Some methodological aspects of estimating cosmic ray exposures in orbital flights.

Computations of the transmission functions of cosmic rays penetrating the geomagnetic field are discussed. Results of LET spectra calculations both inside and outside the spacecraft COSMOS-1129 are presented. Comparison of calculations and measured results shows (in interval 10-5 x 10(3) MeV/cm) a difference of less than 30%. The need for further systematic low altitude particle measurements for the purpose of developing dynamic models of particle populations is stressed.

Cosmic Radiation↗

Results of cosmic radiation dose field measurements aboard the "Salyut-6" orbital station.

During the 3rd main expedition on board the "Salyut-6" orbital station in 1979 the integral characteristics of cosmic radiation were measured in various positions inside the manned modules (experiment "Integral"). Measurements were performed with thermoluminescent dosimeters, photographic films and solid state plastic detectors supplied for the experiment by specialists of the USSR, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR and Romania. The dose gradient inside the manned modules of the station amounted to 70% for long intervals of time. During the experimental period the dose rate inside the station was 15 to 30 mrad per day. The mean flux of particles with Z > or = 6 and LET > or = 200 keV/micrometer was found to be 0.22 cm-2 or day-1.
