This paper explores the changes in the radiation quantity whole body effective dose equivalent (E) caused by galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) by varying position, geometry, material, and thickness of radiation shielding in order to determine possible launch characteristics of a vehicle design. The On-Line Tool for the Assessment of Radiation in Space (OLTARIS) was used to simulate deep space missions lasting 180 or 400 days with a mission radiation surrogate exposure limit of 150 mSv. Previous work used only spherical shielding; however, the shielding geometries investigated in this paper were right circular cylinders and spheres comprised of aluminum, polyethylene, liquid methane, water, and liquid hydrogen. Materials were evaluated individually, in multi-material pressure vessel mock-ups, and personal protection forms for individual astronauts. With single-material shielding, a single launch of shielding material to low Earth orbit (LEO) was possible for all materials for a 180 day mission, but insufficient for a 400 day mission. Multi-material and personal protection forms, as well, were found to be suitable for a 180 day mission, but not for a 400 day mission. Overall, no feasible designs in these analyses were able to meet the surrogate limit and protect an astronaut for 400 days.

屏蔽材料的辐射工程分析,以评估其保护深空宇航员免受高能粒子辐射的能力

本文探讨了辐射量全身有效剂量当量(Ë是由银河宇宙射线(GCR)引起的,它是通过改变辐射屏蔽层的位置,几何形状,材料和厚度来确定车辆设计的可能发射特性。用于评估空间辐射的在线工具(OLTARIS)用于模拟持续180或400天,任务辐射替代暴露极限为150的深空任务病毒。先前的工作仅使用球形屏蔽。然而,本文研究的屏蔽几何形状是由铝,聚乙烯,甲烷,液态甲烷,水和液态氢组成的直圆柱体和球形。在多材料压力容器模型中对材料进行了单独评估,并为单个宇航员提供了个人保护表格。使用单材料屏蔽时,对于180天任务的所有材料,都可以将屏蔽材料一次发射到低地球轨道(LEO),但对于400天任务而言,这是不够的。还发现,多种材料和个人保护形式也适用于180天的任务,但不适用于400天的任务。总体而言,这些分析中没有可行的设计能够达到替代极限并能保护宇航员400天。
