Radiation Environment In Earth-Moon Space: Results From RADOM Experiment Onboard Chandrayaan-1

摘要

The Radiation Monitor (RADOM) payload is a miniature dosimeter-spectrometeronboard Chandrayaan-1 mission for monitoring the local radiation environment innear-Earth space and in lunar space. RADOM measured the total absorbed dose andspectrum of the deposited energy from high energy particles in near-Earthspace, en-route and in lunar orbit. RADOM was the first experiment to beswitched on soon after the launch of Chandrayaan-1 and was operational till theend of the mission. This paper summarizes the observations carried out by RADOMduring the entire life time of the Chandrayaan-1 mission and some the salientresults.
