This study measured space radiation using various detectors on the D1 mission. Results provide total dose, charge, energy, and LET spectra, compared to prior spaceflight data.

Area of Science:

  • Space science
  • Radiation physics
  • Dosimetry

Background:

  • Understanding the space radiation environment is crucial for astronaut safety and mission planning.
  • Previous spaceflight missions have provided valuable, but incomplete, radiation data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the radiation environment within the BIORACK facility during the D1 mission.
  • To measure high and low Linear Energy Transfer (LET) radiation components.
  • To compare obtained radiation data with historical spaceflight measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized plastic detectors (cellulose nitrate, Lexan, CR 39) and emulsions for high LET measurements.
  • Employed thermoluminescence dosimeters (LiF) for low LET measurements.
  • Conducted experiments in various locations within the BIORACK facility.
