Results of cosmic radiation dose field measurements aboard the "Salyut-6" orbital station.
During the 3rd main expedition on board the "Salyut-6" orbital station in 1979 the integral characteristics of cosmic radiation were measured in various positions inside the manned modules (experiment "Integral"). Measurements were performed with thermoluminescent dosimeters, photographic films and solid state plastic detectors supplied for the experiment by specialists of the USSR, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR and Romania. The dose gradient inside the manned modules of the station amounted to 70% for long intervals of time. During the experimental period the dose rate inside the station was 15 to 30 mrad per day. The mean flux of particles with Z > or = 6 and LET > or = 200 keV/micrometer was found to be 0.22 cm-2 or day-1.
