Abstract
Detector packages consisting of thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs), n uclear emulsions and plastic nuclear track detectors were exposed in d ifferent locations inside spacecraft The detector systems, which suppl ement each other in their registration characteristics, allow the reco rding of biologically relevant portions of the radiation field indepen dently. Results are presented and compared with calculations. Dose equ ivalents for the astronauts have been calculated based on the measurem ents; they lie between 190 mu Sv.d(-1) and 860 mu Sv.d(-1).
