Description

The Radiation Biology Department at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine of the German Aerospace Center has extensive experience in modelling cosmic radiation, its transport trough space craft shielding and planetary atmospheres and the conversion to quantities applicable to experimental validation and radiation protection. The presentation comprises an overview over past and current activities, including modelling the radiation field from galactic and solar cosmic radiation on Moon and Mars, on the ISS, in interplanetary space and at aviation altitudes, and validations of the results.
