Experiment M404: Proton electron spectrometerA series of experiments were performed during the Gemini 4 mission to acquire a detailed description of the radiation environment. Data from these experiments were used as source terms for the calculation of radiation doses received by the crewmembers. Comparison of theory with experimental data was accomplished by the use of dosimeters to monitor the integrated dose received by each crewmember. The instantaneous direction of the magnetic field of the earth relative to the spectrometer was used in the reduction of data because particle intensities were strongly directional with respect to the magnetic field. The simultaneous measurement of the external radiation environment and the radiation dose received by the crewmen during a mission was useful to evaluate and perfect calculational techniques.
