EXPERIMENT TITLE/NUMBER : In-flight Radiation Detection 



PROGRAM/MISSION : Apollo-Soyuz Test Project 



CLASSIFICATION : Human 



DISCIPLINE(S) : Environmental health, Radiobiology 



OBJECTIVES : To determine inflight radiation exposure. 



PROTOCOL : Radiation dosimeters were worn in pockets of inflight coveralls. 



EQUIPMENT : Personal Radiation Dosimeter (PRD), Passive Dosimeter (PD). 



RESULTS : Five of the six dosimeters operated satisfactorily 

 throughout the mission. Crew exposure varied from 10 to 15 mrad/day which 

 approached the minimum response sensitivity of the PRD's. This was among the 

 lowest exposure reported for any Apollo mission. 



CONCLUSIONS : The total space radiation exposure of the ASTP crewmen was not 

 significant .
