Active Dosimeter‐Based Estimate of Astronaut Acute Radiation Risk for Real‐Time Solar Energetic Particle Events

Abstract: Radiation exposure from solar energetic particle (SEP) events becomes a much greater concern as human exploration extends beyond low Earth orbit and the protective environment of Earth's magnetic field. Free‐space SEP events have an increased impact on mission planning and operations, as countermeasures may be necessary to avoid exceeding astronaut permissible exposure limits. Operational analysis tools are needed to assess acute radiation risk during SEP events in order to determine courses of action during t… Show more
