Abstract The influence of spatial orientation of the International Space Station (ISS) on the dose rate recorded during passages of the station through the South-Atlantic anomaly (SAA) zone is considered. The dose rates detected by dosimeters of the radiation control system of the ISS are compared with results of calculation-based estimates. It is shown that when crossing the SAA region in close trajectories, but with different spatial orientation of the station, the dose rate near cabins of the ISS Service Module can differ by more than a factor of two.
