“…Several Liulins (R3D-B2, R3D-B3, Liulin-Photo) have also been used in Foton and Bion satellites flying in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and in the Chandrayaan-1 satellite around the moon (RADOM). The Liulin-5 ( 75 – 82 ) is the first of a new Liulin type: it is a telescope using three silicon detectors providing both a coincidence (telescope) and a non-coincidence read out (for direct dose measurements).…”

A reliable radiation risk assessment in space is a mandatory step for the development of countermeasures and long-duration mission planning in human spaceflight. Research in radiobiology provides information about possible risks linked to radiation. In addition, for a meaningful risk evaluation, the radiation exposure has to be assessed to a sufficient level of accuracy. Consequently, both the radiation models predicting the risks and the measurements used to validate such models must have an equivalent precision. Corresponding measurements can be performed both with passive and active devices. The former is easier to handle, cheaper, lighter, and smaller but they measure neither the time dependence of the radiation environment nor some of the details useful for a comprehensive radiation risk assessment. Active detectors provide most of these details and have been extensively used in the International Space Station. To easily access such an amount of data, a single point access is becoming essential. This review presents an ongoing work on the development of a tool that allows obtaining information about all relevant measurements performed with active detectors providing reliable inputs for radiation model validation.

“…Liulin-5 (see Table 1, Part 1, Item No. 6) was an active instrument in a spherical phantom (Semkova et al, 2007). The aim of the Liulin-5 experiment was to make a long-term investigation of the depth-dose distribution and continuous monitoring of the particle fluxes, dose rates, energy deposition and LET spectra in a radial channel of the Russian spherical tissue-equivalent phantom MATROSHKA-R (Akatov et al, 2002;Shurshakov et al, 2006), using a telescope of three silicon detectors.…”

“…The detector module is mounted in the radial channel of the phantom, while the electronics are outside of the phantom. A more detailed description of the Liulin-5 method and instrument can be found in Semkova et al (2007Semkova et al ( , 2010. The detector module contains 3 silicon detectors (D1-D3) arranged as a particle telescope.…”
