SUMMARY OF PRESENT KNOWLEDGE ON SPACE RADIATION

Abstract

The present knowledge of the nature and properties of interplanetary plasma, galactic, solar, and trapped radiations is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed upon solar cosmic radiation, solar flares, solar-terrestrial relationships, and time variations. Results of analyses of various events is described in light of biological dose restrictions. Present research programs on prediction of solar cosmic rays and their time variations are discussed.
