Astronauten an Bord der ISS *LINK*

Beitrag von Heiko Ulbricht (Freital) » 28. Okt 2003, 21:37

Hallo,

vorhin auf UKW-Funk fragte mich ein Funkamateur, wie groß denn die Gefahr für die an Bord befindlichen Astronauten auf der ISS sei. Ich konnte ihm nur eine Vermutung meinerseits anbieten. Gibt es jemand, der sagen kann, wo hoch denn bei derartigen Ausbrüchen wirklich die Gefahr für Mensch und Technik (Bordcomputer, Elektronik, Stromversorgung) ist?

MfG
Heiko

The most dangerous is the proton flare and the X-rays.
That period is over now.
On board of the Mir thre was a metal chest behind which the kosmonouts would hide but usually they didn't have the time to do so when they were busy repairing Mir.

Skylab astronauts in the 70's described proton flares as: "When I close my eyes I see sparks in the dark".

With Apollo 14 (?) there was a large flare two weeks before they landed on the moon. The idea is that if they were outside their landing vehicle, they would have been dead within a minute unless they would have dug themselves one meter deep in lunar dust.

Supposedly ISS astronauts have a thick walled compartment where they can hide.

Supposedly the worsed long term effect of proton bombardement is leukemia because of the red stuff that is in your larger bones (bone marrow) gets damaged.

For high flying (military) pilots the proton flares are bad also.
Concorde had X-ray monitors on board similar to what radiology hospital crews wear.

Aurora and geomagnetic storms pose no danger to astronauts.

Hi Jan & all,

: Skylab astronauts in the 70's described proton flares as:
: "When I close my eyes I see sparks in the dark".

This sound very interesting to me.
Has there been any suggestion of a physiological reason for that ?

many thanks in advance
and CS 4 2morrow !
