Description
Two dosemeter packets containing thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLDs) and track etch foils were used to measure the absorbed dose and the average LET of the radiation within the space station MIR. One packet was exposed over a period of about 5 months and the other one during the Austrian-Soviet manned space programme in October 1991. Various types of standard TLDs, Soviet Al2O3 TLDs and Austrian labor made LiF single crystals were used. The change in the peak height ratio, phototransferred TL and glowpeak deconvolution were used to measure the absorbed dose and the average LET of the radiation within the space station MIR. The first results taken by TLDs reveal a radiation dose of 1.6 mGy and an average LET of 7 keV/μm in tissue caused by the radiation field within the space station MIR during the Austrian-Soviet space mission AUSTROMIR.
