Abstract
As recent studies onboard various spacecraft have shown, one unresolved technical problem of manned interplanetary flights at the moment is the high radiation background of interplanetary space, which, as in the case of a manned mission to Mars, can be critically dangerous for the crew. Work on this topic is being carried out by all space agencies. One such space experiment is represented by the BTN-Neutron experiment onboard the Russian section of the International Space Station (ISS). The main result of the work was the construction of the BTN-M2 instrument for creating effective radiation protection onboard prospective manned spacecraft, creating an engineering model of the radiation background both inside and outside the ISS, and for registration of γ rays and neutrons during solar flares and cosmic γ-ray bursts.
