6 THE COSMIC RAY NUCLEI AND THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EXPERIMENTS ONBOARD OF THE SPACE STATIONS MIR AND ISS (RIM—0)

7 Practical aspects of the LF-phenomenon The cosmonauts must be ready to LF phenomenon during space flight, especially if it is the long space flight out of the earth magnetosphere. LF phenomenon's, which systematically will be arising especially before slipping cosmonauts, can to bring up to tiredness condition and to decreasing of the operational capability. LF phenomenon capable to exert on operational capability. The low sensitivity to LF phenomenon is a good property for future crewmembers of the Mars missions.

8 Detector part of the SilEye apparatus

9 The fraction of particles that occurred in the LF- window (1.2–0.2 sec. before a registered LF signal) and “anti-LF” window (defined, being 0.2–1.2 s after the LF) as a functions of LET Sergey Avdeev on Mir with the SilEye-2 detector mounted on the side of his head and the mask with LED’s in front of his eyes.

ALTITUDE ~ 400 km INCLINATION 87.3 deg. MASS 170 kg Launch: 14 July 2000 Space - Base Plesetsk End of mission: 15 th August 2001.

16 ZENIT rocket Baikonur, Kazakhstan July 10 1998 COSMOS rocket Plesetsk, Russia July 15 2000 NINA2-MITA Sun-Earthpointing,89°, 440 km, 90’ Last scientific data in August 10, 2001, at 240 km altitude NINA-RESURS Earthpointing, 97°, 810 km, 100’

17 Solar Energetic Particles 9 SEP events have been detected by NINA in October 1998 -- April 1999, and analyzed; 14 SEP events have been detected by NINA-2 in October 2000 – August 2001 3 He/ 4 He ratios and energy spectra determined; 7 Nov. 1998 event 3 He-enriched[ 3 He/ 4 He=(0.33± 0.006)] All SEPs present a 3 He/ 4 He higher than coronal values; Possible presence of deuterium on 24 Nov. 1998 and 19 July 2001 nuclear interactions, which could contribute to the 3 He content in SEPs

18 7 Nov. 1998 event 3 He/ 4 He= 0.33 ± 0.006 [10--50 MeV/n] 3 He-enriched The 3 He and 4 He spectral indexes are: The 3 He/ 4 He ratio increases with energy. Its low-energy extrapolation (~ 10 -4 ) is consistent with ULEIS (ACE) [Mason, Mazur & Dwyer, ApJ, 525, L133, 1999] in the interval 0.2--2 MeV/n, which reported a value < 6x10 -4. 3 He -->  = 2.5 ± 0.6 4 He -->  = 3.7 ± 0.3

19 Galactic Cosmic Rays Cosmic ray abundances, with the odd-even effect, the peaks at C and O, and the relative depression of the light elements Li, Be and B Very good agreement among SIS, CRIS and NINA results

20 Trapped particles mass reconstruction The mass reconstruction confirms the presence of ‘real’ H and He isotopes in Radiation Belts. 3 He is more abundant than 4 He

21 Albedo particles Energy spectrum of protons of albedo origin was measured at different geomagnetic location Behaviour of the proton flux as a function of altitude and longitude out of the South Atlantic Anomaly was studied NINA and NINA-2 measurements revealed that 2H, 3H, 3He and 4He are a significant portion of the secondary flux above the atmosphere L-shell 0.26 G
