Abstract

There are only a few methods of dosimetry which can estimate the contribution of different particles to onboard spacecraft and/or aircraft exposure. This contribution describes an attempt to estimate the contribution of different components to the exposure level using MDU-Liulin energy deposition spectrometer and thermoluminescent detectors (TLD’s), in combination with a spectrometer of linear energy transfer (LET) based on track etch detectors. This equipment was exposed onboard: the International Space Station for a long period and two shorter shuttle missions and a commercial subsonic aircraft for several long-term monitoring periods from 2001 to 2006. The data obtained are analyzed from several points of view and the obtained results are presented, analyzed, and discussed.
