Tissue equivalent detector data obtained recently on Mir space station. Comparison with Solid State Detector data

Tissue equivalent and Solid State Detector (SSD) measurements of the radiation environment inside the Mir space station were performed during the Antares mission in 1992 and long period after it. Interesting results about radiation measurements show (a) the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) crossing, (b)...

Summary:Tissue equivalent and Solid State Detector (SSD) measurements of the radiation environment inside the Mir space station were performed during the Antares mission in 1992 and long period after it. Interesting results about radiation measurements show (a) the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) crossing, (b) the increase of radiation near the poles and (c) the effects of solar eruptions (the most important one occurring in early November 1992). These data give also information about the dose and the quality factor of the radiation received by the cosmonauts during different missions.
