Shielding Requirements for Manned Orbiting Space StationsA detailed parametric investigation of radiation shielding requirements was performed for first generation manned orbiting space stations. Two specific space station designs were studied; the results of the shielding analysis are based on the actual geometry of the vehicles, onboard equipment, and supplies. Results are presented for circular orbits ranging from 100 to 600 nautical miles and from 29° to 90° inclination. The effects of the geometry of the space stations, the use of personal shielding, and the use of particular shielding materials are discussed.
