DOSIMETRIC MEASUREMENTS IN MANNED MISSIONS

Detector packages consisting of thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs), n uclear emulsions and plastic nuclear track detectors were exposed in d ifferent sections of the MIR space station, inside the Spacelab during the IML1 mission, and inside Spacelab module and tunnel during the D2 mission. This report concentrates on total dose measurements with TLD s during these mission. The results are discussed and compared to resu lts of former missions and to calculations. Finally, dose equivalents and mean quality factors for each mission are presented which are deri ved from the TLD results and results obtained from the other detector systems. Dose equivalents range between 200 mu Svd(-1) and 700 mu Svd( -1).
