We conducted a mission with a NASA plane to high latitude to study the effects of the cosmic radiation on aircraft crew.


At high latitude, cosmic radiation penetrates the atmosphere in higher quantities because the magnetic field is less efficient at deflecting them. This means that busy plane corridors such as the US to Europe one are subject to these higher radiations. To help estimate the dose suffered by the aircraft crew and passenger and help reduce it, we developed the NAIRAS model. The mission presented here helped validate the model in these more extreme conditions.
