Suborbital Flight Demonstration of Ionizing Radiation Dosimeters for Use in the Upper Atmosphere

PI: Eric Benton, Oklahoma State University

Overview
Maturation Objectives

The Suborbital Flight Demonstration of Ionizing Radiation Dosimeters for Use in the Upper Atmosphere will evaluate the ability of several dosimeters to operate continuously and successfully during the entirety of a suborbital rocket-powered flight. Researchers will study whether the vibration during the cruise phase of the flight degrades the dosimeters’ recorded signal quality and obtain ionizing radiation data for use in validating results from atmospheric radiation environment computer models.
