Description

A dosimetric complex is proposed for use in long-term manned space flight on the orbital station and for the planned Mars expedition. This complex includes thermoluminescence dosimeters with on-board readout, a channel for continuous monitoring of dose rate and a channel for continuous measurement of absorbed and equivalent doses, as well as measurement of the LET spectra. The last four parameters are measured by a tissue-equivalent proportional counter. (author)
