The United States' astronauts have been exposed to a complex radiation environment that poses unique problems in high-energy radiation dosimetry. Since the astronauts were exposed to natural radiation sources with a potential for delivering very large radiation exposures, exposure limits in excess of occupational limits were adopted. The limits adopted for Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo/Soyuz are given along with the details of the radiation monitoring activities of the mission. The radiation exposures experimenced in the United States' space missions are also given.
