Results from Radiation Monitoring Equipment Experiment on STS-8.

Abstract

The results from the Radiation Equipment Monitoring (RME) experiment, flown onboard STS-8 are presented and discussed. The RME consists of the HRM-III gamma ray counter and PRM neutron/proton dosimeter. The gamma ray data agree wtih data from previous flights. Large increases in count rates are observed when the Orbiter is in the South Atlantic Anomaly. Neutron/proton dosage is consistent with NASA predictions for STS-8. Keywords include: Dosimetry; Radiation monitoring; Space radiation.
