  • Title: Heavy cosmic-ray exposure of Apollo astronauts.
    Author: Benton EV, Henke RP, Bailey JV.
    Journal: Science; 1975 Jan 24; 187(4173):263-5. PubMed ID: 1111101.
    Abstract:
    A comprehensive study of the heavy-particle cosmic-ray exposure received by the individual astronauts during the nine lunar Apollo missions reveals a significant variation in the exposure as a function of shielding and the phase of the solar cycle. The data are useful in planning for future long-range missions and in estimating the expected biological damage.
