Abstract
The fluence, flux, and integral LET spectrum of high LET particles inside the Skylab (SL2) Command Module are presented. The results are derived from the analysis of plastic nuclear track detectors located at five different poitions inside the command module. For particles with Linf. > 105 keV V/μm. Tissue, the average planar fluence and flux are 53.2 particles/cm22*pi ster and 1.90 particles/cm2*day*2pi ster, respectively. The integral LET spectrum decreases steeply toward high LET values. Compared with similar results from the Apollo 17 lunar mission, the high LET particle flux is lower and the integral LET spectrum is steeper in the Skylab mission.
