Scientific paper

Results are reported from radiation-transport calculations for cosmic rays and solar-flare particles incident on shielded and unshielded spacecraft and crew on space missions. The principles and data bases underlying the computations are reviewed, and the results are presented in extensive graphs and discussed in detail. It is shown that the use of thicker shielding can reduce the doses of cosmic rays and particles to acceptable levels; with thicker shielding, radiation from neutron-generated nuclear recoils is more important than that from heavy nuclei.
