title: Radiation factors in space and a system for their monitoring.
abstract: The radiation environment is of special concern when the spaceship flies in deep space.  The annual fluence of the galactic  cosmic rays is approximately 10(8) cm-2 and the absorbed dose of the solar cosmic rays can reach 10 Gy per event behind the shielding thickness of 3-5 g cm-2 Al.  For the radiation environment monitoring it is planned to place a measuring complex on the space probes "Mars" and "Spectr" flying outside the magnetosphere.  This complex is to measure:  cosmic rays composition, particle flux, dose equivalent, energy and LET spectra, solar X-rays spectrum.  On line data transmission by the space probes permits to obtain the radiation environment data in space.
