It is shown that it is possible to calculate the extent of the exposure to space radiation of a specific body organ. Using a computerized anatomical man model and models of radiation environments and spacecraft shielding, a parametric study was carried out for several Space-Shuttle scenarios. The dose equivalent data for several blood-forming organ locations are presented (for a solar-minimum epoch) as a function of altitude and the shielding material, and the results are compared with the NASA crew exposure limits for these body organs.
