Abstract
Estimates of doses inside the spacecraft were carried out for flights to the Moon using low-thrust engines. The characteristics of the trajectory, which is significantly different from the Hohmann trajectory, are taken into account. Such a trajectory causes a long stay inside the radiation belts, which can cause disruptions in the operation of onboard equipment. It turned out that, during long-term transportation of food products, they may be damaged under the influence of radiation. This is extremely important in the case of the creation of habitable stations on the Moon surface or near-Moon orbit. The presented results can be used in the preparation of future space experiments.
期刊介绍:
Cosmic Research publishes scientific papers covering all subjects of space science and technology, including the following: ballistics, flight dynamics of the Earth’s artificial satellites and automatic interplanetary stations; problems of transatmospheric descent; design and structure of spacecraft and scientific research instrumentation; life support systems and radiation safety of manned spacecrafts; exploration of the Earth from Space; exploration of near space; exploration of the Sun, planets, secondary planets, and interplanetary medium; exploration of stars, nebulae, interstellar medium, galaxies, and quasars from spacecraft; and various astrophysical problems related to space exploration. A chronicle of scientific events and other notices concerning the main topics of the journal are also presented.
