Instrumentation to measure the radiobiologically significant high energy radiations encountered in manned spaceflight is of fundamental importance in ensuring astronaut safety and the ultimate mission success of these space programs. Since the discovery of high energy radiations in space, it has been recognized that manned operations in space would require a very careful consideration of these radiations. To date, manned space operations have not encountered dangerous radiation levels, either because of the absence of high energy solar particles, the avoidance of the areas of high fluxes of trapped particles in the earth's magnetosphere, and the relatively short duration of missions where high fluxes were encountered. However, on future long-term missions the reduction of radiation exposure may be more difficult, and a very comprehensive measurement of radiation levels must be made. This report describes an advanced active dosimetry system that will measure the important radiations encountered within a manned spacecraft.
