FIGURE 3.1 The radiation environments of the International Space Station: the three regions of space around Earth where penetrating radiation occurs. SOURCE: NRC, 2000, Figure 1.1, p. 8. Crew Exposure Modeling CapabilitySRAG’s modeling tools include radiation transport codes and computer-aided-design-based geometry evaluation tools. These tools are used as part of an information feedback loop, and real measurements are used to refine the process continuously. This allows SRAG to react to changes in the on-orbit environment and to anticipate and plan for periods of potentially hazardous exposure. Radiation Monitoring Instruments and DosimetersThe present suite of detectors used to monitor the radiation environment during manned missions includes passive dosimeters (crew passive dosimeter [CPD] and radiation area monitor [RAM])1 and active
