Particle intensity, dose equivalent and absorb ed dose have been measured on board the space shuttles during their visit to the International Space Station (ISS) on STS-108 and STS-112. The dose estimates are based on very accurate measurements of recoils produced in CR-39 by cosmic ray primary and secondary protons and heavier nuclei and by secondary neutrons. The corresponding LET spectra were used to determine dose equivalent and absorb ed dose values for both missions. Estimates of the total flux of Z≥2 nuclei have been undertaken and a charge spectrum was measured for both missions. Comparisons are made with the predictions of a cosmic ray transport model.
