title: Personal dosimetry for human missions to Mars based on TLD and LET-spectrometry technique.
abstract: Exposure of crew to the space radiation environment poses one of the most significant problems in long term missions in low earth orbits and in interplanetary missions. Accurate personal dose measurement will become increasingly important especially during manned missions to Mars. A series of instruments suitable for on-board dose, flux and LET measurements has been developed by the authors'. Based on the experience gained so far from their utilization, an instrument consisting of a thermoluminescent device and a dosimetry telescope is proposed for the use on the International Space Station and for human Mars missions. The short technical description of this instrument is given in this paper.
