Gamma-radiation background on board Russian orbital stations

摘要

Gamma-ray background measurements on board the Russian orbitalstations Salyut-6, Salyut-7, Mir, Soyuz and Progress have been carriedout since 1979. The dependencies of background intensity on missionmass, telescope orientation, and cut-off rigidity are presented for theenergy intervals 0.1-8 MeV and 30-600 MeV. The background from man-madesources on board these spacecraft was investigated
