Abstract
In the Biostack I, II, II experiments flown on the Apollo 16 and 17 and ASTP missions, nuclear emulsion plates have been used for the first time for heavy ions identification in connection with biological layers. After the calibration step using the heavy ions available at the Bevalac at Berkeley, the nuclear emulsion can give dosimetric results for the heavy ions hitting biological materials. The results have been sent for exploitation to the biological laboratories of Toulouse, Frankfurt and Marburg. We summarize all the dosimetric results in the field of heavy ion tracks and nuclear stars induced by cosmic-ray particles. The last results from Biobloc (Dec. 1975) are presented.
