Radiation protection standards in space
Advances in Space Research, 1986Radiation protection standards for the individual exposed to ionizing radiation in his/her daily work have evolved over more than 50 years since the first recommendations on limits by the NCRP and the ICRP. Initial standards were based on the absence of observable harm, notably skin erythema, but have since been modified as other concerns, such as ...

EVALUATION OF RADIATION EFFECTS IN SPACE
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1963The aspects of the synthesis of complicated organic compounds from simple predecessors are discussed, because they offer clues to the evolution of organic compounds and to some degree to questions connected with studies on the origin of life. It is believed reasonable to assume that vast quantities of organic material are or were formed in space from ...

Space radiation effects and microgravity
Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 1999Humans in space are exposed both to space radiation and microgravity. The question whether radiation effects are modified by microgravity is an important aspect in risk estimation. No interaction is expected at the molecular level since the influence of gravity is much smaller than that of thermal motion.

Radiation in Space: Risk Estimates
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2002The complexity of radiation environments in space makes estimation of risks more difficult than for the protection of terrestrial populations. In deep space the duration of the mission, position in the solar cycle, number and size of solar particle events (SPE) and the spacecraft shielding are the major determinants of risk. In low-earth orbit missions

Biomarkers of Space Radiation Risk
Radiation Research, 2005Radiation risk estimates are based on epidemiological data obtained on Earth for cohorts exposed predominantly to acute doses of gamma rays, and the extrapolation to the space environment is highly problematic and error-prone. The uncertainty can be reduced if risk estimates are compared directly to space radiation-induced biological alterations, i.e ...

Radiation: Behavioral implications in space
Toxicology, 1988Since future space missions are likely to be beyond Earth's protective atmosphere, a potentially significant hazard is radiation. The following behavioral situations are addressed in this paper: (1) space radiations are more effective at disrupting behavior; (2) task demands can aggravate the radiation-disruption; (3) efforts to mitigate disruption ...

Accepting space radiation risks
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 2010The human exploration of space inevitably involves exposure to radiation. Associated with this exposure are multiple risks, i.e., probabilities that certain aspects of an astronaut's health or performance will be degraded. The management of these risks requires that such probabilities be accurately predicted, that the actual exposures be verified, and ...

Radiation potentials generated by space radiation
Solar System Research, 2013The mechanism for generating electric potentials and currents in conductors of electronic equipment on board spacecraft subjected to space radiation is examined. Radiation potentials and currents are calculated for a system that consists of two insulated conductors.
