Abstract
Dosimetric measurements on the Space Shuttle Missions STS-84, -89 and -91 h ave been made by the real-time radiation monitoring device III (RRMD-III). Simultaneously, another dosimetry measurement was made by the Dosimetry Tel escope (DOSTEL) on STS 84 and by the tissue-equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) on STS-91. First, the RRMD-III instrument is described in detail an d its results summarized. Then, the results of DOSTEL and TEPC are compared with those of the RRMD-III. Also, the absorbed doses obtained by TLD (Mg2S iO4) and by RRMD-III on board STS-84 and -91 are compared. (C) 2001 Elsevie r Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
