Abstract
The contribution to the effective dose from cosmic radiation of the Earth’s radiation belts, galactic cosmic rays, and solar proton events for astronauts located in the large-diameter working compartment of the service module of the ISS is considered. It is shown that for quasi-stationary sources of cosmic radiation, a change in the orbital inclination of 51.6° by 97.0° does not lead to significant variations in the average daily effective dose rate. When considering the contribution to the effective dose from solar-flare protons, the dose load on astronauts can increase by ten or more times.
