  • Title: The study of the radiation environment in near-earth space.
    Author: Petrov VM, Akatov YA, Kozlova SB, Markelov VV, Nesterov VM, Redko VI, Smirenny LN, Khortsev AV, Chernikh IV.
    Journal: Life Sci Space Res; 1975; 13():129-34. PubMed ID: 12180472.
    Abstract:
    The report contains the description of the devices used for studying the radiation environment in space. They consist of passive dosimeters, a monitoring dosimeter and a spectrometer. Data were obtained with them over a long period of time. The analysis of these data permits one to conclude that radiation dose greatly depends on the apogee altitude and inclination; increasing the shield thickness does not greatly decrease the daily dose. The daily doses in orbits with an inclination of less than 65 degrees are 7 to 45 mrad day-1; the quality factor in those orbits was 1.2-1.4.
