Ionizing radiation at aircraft and commercial suborbital spaceflight altitudes is driven by space weather and is a health concern for crew and passengers. We compare the response functions of two radiation detectors that were exposed to four different ground‐based laboratory radiation fields as well as flown alongside each other on aircraft. The detectors were a tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) and a Teledyne silicon micro dosimeter chip that was integrated into an Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety Flight Module (ARMAS FM). Both detectors were flown onboard commercial and research aircraft. In addition, both detectors were exposed neutrons at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, protons at Loma Linda University Medical Center, ⁵⁶Fe particles at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory, and also a gamma radiation source at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The response of each of these instruments as well as derived dosimetric quantities are compared for each radiation exposure and the ratio for converting ARMAS absorbed dose in silicon to an estimated absorbed dose in tissue is obtained. This process resulted in the first definitive calibration of the silicon‐based detector like ARMAS to TEPC. In particular, with seven flights of both instruments together, the ARMAS‐derived dose in tissue was then validated with the TEPC‐measured dose in tissue and these results are reported. This work provides a method for significantly improving the accuracy of radiation measurements relevant to human tissue safety using a silicon detector that is easy to deploy and can report data in real time.

具有组织等效比例计数器的ARMAS飞行模块的束线和飞行比较，可提高大气辐射监测的精度

飞机和商业亚轨道太空飞行高度的电离辐射是由太空天气驱动的，并且是机组人员和乘客的健康问题。我们比较了两个辐射探测器的响应函数，这些探测器暴露在四个不同的地面实验室辐射场中，并且在飞机上并排飞行。探测器是一个组织当量比例计数器（TEPC）和一个Teledyne硅微剂量计芯片，该芯片已集成到航空航天安全飞行模块的自动辐射测量中（ARMAS FM）。两种探测器均载于商业和研究飞机上。此外，这两个探测器在洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心和洛马琳达大学医学中心的质子中均暴露于中子，现年^56岁。美国国家航空航天局太空辐射实验室的铁颗粒，以及劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室的伽玛射线源。比较每种仪器对每种辐射的响应以及得出的剂量，并得出将硅中ARMAS吸收剂量转换为组织中估计吸收剂量的比率。该过程导致了对基于ARMAS的硅检测器的首次确定性校准，从而达到了TEPC。特别是，将这两种仪器一起进行了7次飞行，然后用TEPC测量的组织剂量验证了ARMAS得出的组织剂量，并报告了这些结果。
