چکیده
Parsons, J. L. and Townsend, L. W. Interplanetary Crew Dose Rates for the August 1972 Solar Particle Event. Using the coupled neutron-proton space radiation transport computer code (BRYNTRN), estimates of dose rates of protons in the skin, ocular lens and bone marrow, behind various thicknesses of aluminum shielding, for crews on space missions outside the Earth's magnetosphere, are made for the large solar particle event (SPE) of August 1972. Overall, the August 1972 dose rates are significantly higher than those estimated for any of the events that occurred in August-December 1989. The dose rates in the August 1972 SPE are not low dose rates as specified by the major national and international advisory bodies and committees.

Introduction to special section on the Earth-Moon-Mars Radiation Environment Module
[1] The United States is preparing to return humans to the Moon and is setting the stage for exploration to Mars and beyond. However, it is unclear if long missions outside of low-Earth orbit (LEO) can be accomplished with acceptable risk. The central objective of the NASA Living With a Star Earth-Moon-Mars Radiation Environment Module (EMMREM) is to develop and validate a numerical module for ...
متن کاملAstronaut Protection From Solar Event of August 4 , 1972
The dose rates in the blood-forming organ of a typical astronaut for four space shielding conditions are used to study the astronaut health effects of the solar particle event which began on August 4, 1972. This event was chosen as it was the most hazardous event for which detailed measurements have been made and for which dire predictions of the potential health effects have at times been sugg...

The radiation environment in low earth orbital flights is complex. The paper summarises the component of the space radiation, describes the dosimetric methods usually applied for space radiation dosimetry, and gives the typical figures of the measured results. The last part deals with dose limitation system of astronauts. Introduction Although partly protected from galactic and solar cosmic rad...
متن کاملThe local time dependence of the anisotropic solar cosmic ray flux.
The distribution of the solar cosmic radiation flux over the earth is not uniform, but the result of complex phenomena involving the interplanetary magnetic field, the geomagnetic field and latitude and longitude of locations on the earth. The latitude effect relates to the geomagnetic shield; the longitude effect relates to local time. For anisotropic solar cosmic ray events the maximum partic...
متن کاملInterplanetary Radiation and Internal Charging Environment Models for Solar Sails
A Solar Sail Radiation Environment (SSRE) model has been developed for defining charged particle environments over an energy range from 0.01 keV to 1 MeV for hydrogen ions, helium ions, and electrons. The SSRE model provides the free field charged particle environment required for characterizing energy deposition per unit mass, charge deposition, and dose rate dependent conductivity processes r...
