BION-M1 Radiation Dosimetry

Launch: 1000 UT 4/19/2013 (Baikonur, Kazakhstan)
Landing: 0312 UT 5/19/2013 (Orenburg region, Russia)
Orbit: apogee 585 km; perigee 555 km; inclination 65 deg

Detectors:
SPD1-41 Passive (thermoluminescent dosimeters, plastic nuclear track detectors) — charged particles
RD3-B32 Active (solid state, Liulin-type) — charged particles
(Operated 4/19-5/13)

Note: Tissues were obtained from surviving mice from the three animal habitats. Advise that data be used as averages and upper and lower bounds for radiation exposure.

2 Exposure duration was 29.85 days.

Notes:

  • Low LET D measured with TLD
  • High LET D and H measured with PNTD

3 From T. Dachev et al., J. Atmos. Solar Terr. Phys. 123 (2015) 82-91.

Notes:

  • GCR = galactic cosmic ray charged nuclei
  • IRB (SAA) = inner radiation belt (South Atlantic Anomaly)
  • ORB = outer radiation belt
  • Total (GCR+IRB+ORB) is somewhat greater than total, due to overlap in selection criteria (as defined in Dachev et al.)
