Virtual dose mapping tour in the ISS Columbus module

With the help of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and ThinkSpace Consulting, you can now scan through the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS) for DOSIS-3D dosimetry data, including data from our research group. 

 

The DOSIS experiment aims at providing dose distribution information inside the International Space Station. Our research group has been participating in this European Space Agency (ESA) project led by DLR since 2009. Recently, DLR made it possible to publicly view the resulting data in the ISS Columbus module. There are passive detectors mounted on the walls of the spacecraft at several locations, supplemented by an active dosimeter in one fixed point supplying continuous online information. Feel free to check the dose values during an interactive tour inside the space station by clicking on the photo below.
