title: [MEASUREMENT OF SPACE RADIATION DOSES AND LINEAR ENERGY TRANSFER SPECTRA INSIDE BIOLOGICAL SATELLITE BION-M1].
abstract: The paper presents the results of measuring biologically significant characteristics of space radiation (spectra of linear energy transfer (LET), absorbed and equivalent doses and averaged quality factors) inside the descend capsule of biosatellite Bion-M1 in space experiment Bioradiation. Measurements combined the use of thermoluminescent detectors DTG-4 (TDL) and solid state nuclear track detectors CR-39 (Tastrak) (SSNTD). Differential and integral LET spectra of high-LET space radiation were determined in 4 points inside spacecraft using passive detectors assembles (PDA). Total absorbed dose rates for PDA boxes No 1-4 made up 2.4 ± 0.2; 1.1 ± 0.1; 1.6 ± 0.2; 2.0 ± 0.1 mGy/d respectively, whereas total equivalent dose rates estimated based on ICRP Publication 60 recommendations made up 3.4 ± 0.2; 2.0 ± 0.1; 2.6 ± 0.2; 3.1 ± 0.1 mSv/d respectively. Values of the averaged quality factor for different PDSs were in the range between 1.4 and 1.8.
