Dosimetry inside MIR station using a silicon detector telescope (DOSTEL).

Radiat Meas

Institut fur Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Universitat Kiel, Kiel, Germany.

Published: October 2002

The dosimetry telescope (DOSTEL) was flown on the MIR orbital station during October 1997-January 1998. The mission average contributions to the absorbed dose rates (in water) were 126 +/- 4 microGy/d and 121 +/- 13 microGy/d for the GCR and the SAA component, respectively. The mean quality factors (ICRP60) deduced from the LET-spectra are 3.5 +/- 0.2 (GCR) and 1.3 +/- 0.1 (SAA). Separate LET spectra and temporal variations of the absorbed dose rates and of the mean quality factors are presented for these two radiation components as well as for solar energetic particles of the November 6, 1997 event.
