Book Description
Analysis of the prong number distribution of a population of disintegration stars in nuclear emulsion allows a quantitative estimate of the fraction of stars originating in the gelatin matrix and thereby an assessment of the tissue-equivalent dose from stars. 996 stars were prong-counted in two 100 micron llford K.2 emulsions from the dosimeter of the Docking Pilot on Apollo-Soyuz and furnished a tissue star dose of 7.8 millirad or 45 millirem. Since star-produced neutrons do not leave visible prongs in emulsion, their dose contribution is not included. Nuclear theory as well as earlier measurements of galactic radiation in the Earth's atmosphere indicate that the dose equivalent from neutrons is about equal to the one from all ionizing secondaries from stars. This would set the total tissue star dose for Apollo-Soyuz at approximately 90 millirem. (Author).

Book Description
Ilford G.5 and K.2 emulsions in the astronauts' personnel dosimeter packs furnished quantitative data on the various components of the astronauts' radiation exposure on Apollo-Soyuz. Track and grain counts of the proton population in G.5 and proton ender counts in K.2 emulsion indicate a proton dose of 51 millirad and 74 millirem. Tissue disintegration stars including neutrons contribute an additional 4.6 millirad and 38 millirem. HZE particle tracks were evaluated using a reference scale of tracks with known Z and E values available in the literature.

Book Description
The report presents and discusses the results of measurements with balloon-borne nuclear emulsion packs at supersonic transport altitude. The experimental design was such that the track population in the emulsion reflected directly the flux of low energy protons in the tissue equivalent material surrounding the emulsion on all sides. The radiation packs accompanied a main payload consisting of neutron spectrometer equipment. Packs were flown on a number of flights, each of them sampling a different altitude. No solar activity was recorded during the entire flight time; therefore, the data are representative of galactic radiation at solar maximum for a quiet sun. (Author).
