Contract activities on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Pille-Simonyi-2
Pille-Simonyi-2 Experiment is part of science research program implemented onboard the ISS RS by spaceflight participant, U.S. citizen Charles Simonyi; this experiment is continuation of "Pille-ISS", experiment performed during VC-12 time. The Space Adventures Company is the Customer to prepare and conduct this experiment.
Objective:
Determination experimentally of value of accumulated dose resulting from ionizing radiation of space, which was taken by Ch. Simonyi as a space flight participant during VC-16 visiting crew flight onboard the Souyz TMA-14 manned transport spacecraft and the ISS Russian Segment modules.
Tasks:
- Measurement of Ch. Simonyi (space flight participant) exposure to radiation over the entire period of VC-16 flight.
- Obtaining experimental data on value of ionizing radiation dose taken by Ch. Simonyi onboard the Soyuz TMA-14 manned transport spacecraft during the free flight.
- Obtaining of daily experimental data on value of ionizing radiation dose taken by Ch. Simonyi throughout VC-16 flight.
- Determination of radiological situation in the ISS RS measurement areas when conducting space experiment during VC-16 flight.
Science Hardware Used:
Dose meter "Pille-ISS" containing:
- panel of dose meter "Pille-ISS";
- sensor of dose meter "Pille-ISS" (10 pcs.);
