Abstract
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) officially announced a global pandemic
on March 12, 2020, the aviation industry in the world has been experiencing
difficulties for a long time. Meanwhile, the Ukraine war broke out in February,
and from March 15, domestic airlines must operate air routes bypassing Russian
airspace despite the longer flight time. Therefore, as the flight time
increases, the cosmic radiation exposure dose of the crew members is also
expected to increase. Here we compare the radiation exposure dose between the
route doses for the eastern United States and Europe before and after the detour
route usage. Through the comparison analysis, we tried to understand how cosmic
radiation changes depending on the flight time and the latitude and which one
contributes more. We expect that this study can be used for the policy update
for the safety management of cosmic radiation for aircrews in Korea.
期刊介绍:
JASS aims for the promotion of global awareness and understanding of space science and related applications. Unlike other journals that focus either on space science or on space technologies, it intends to bridge the two communities of space science and technologies, by providing opportunities to exchange ideas and viewpoints in a single journal. Topics suitable for publication in JASS include researches in the following fields: space astronomy, solar physics, magnetospheric and ionospheric physics, cosmic ray, space weather, and planetary sciences; space instrumentation, satellite dynamics, geodesy, spacecraft control, and spacecraft navigation. However, the topics covered by JASS are not restricted to those mentioned above as the journal also encourages submission of research results in all other branches related to space science and technologies. Even though JASS was established on the heritage and achievements of the Korean space science community, it is now open to the worldwide community, while maintaining a high standard as a leading international journal. Hence, it solicits papers from the international community with a vision of global collaboration in the fields of space science and technologies.
