Space radiation doses varied significantly within BIORACK during the IML2 mission. Measurements using plastic nuclear track detectors, nuclear emulsions, and thermoluminescence dosimeters revealed differences in total dose and heavy ion flux across locations, with an estimated mission equivalent dose of 3.8 mSv for astronauts.

Area of Science:

  • Space science
  • Radiation biology
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • Understanding space radiation is crucial for astronaut safety.
  • Previous missions provided baseline radiation data.
  • BIORACK experiments require precise environmental monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure the space radiation environment inside BIORACK during the IML2 mission.
  • To assess dose variations across different locations within the facility.
  • To determine the mission equivalent dose for astronauts.

Main Methods:

  • Deployment of seven detector packages including plastic nuclear track detectors, nuclear emulsions, and thermoluminescence dosimeters.
  • Exposure of detectors in various locations within BIORACK.

  • Analysis of total dose, cosmic ray flux, and neutron dose.

    • Main Results:

    • Total doses varied by up to 1.5 times across different locations.
    • Heavy ion fluxes showed variations exceeding a factor of 6.
    • Comparison with previous mission data was performed.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant spatial variations in space radiation exist within the BIORACK facility.
    • The calculated mission equivalent dose for astronauts was 3.8 mSv.
    • Detector data supplement each other for comprehensive radiation assessment.
