The space radiation environment inboard is measured by Area PADLES dosimeters at 17 places in the Japanese Experiment Module "KIBO".
● 12 places in Pressurized Module (PM)
(It is four places in the Node side, the Exposed Facility (EF) side, and the center for each.)
● 5 places in Experiment Logistics Module Pressurized Section(ELM-PS)
(Zenith and four places in Pressurized Module (PM) joint)
These Area PADLES dosimeters are collected and changed in every approximately 6-8 months (1-2 times a year ), and are analyzed in Tsukuba space center after the return.
