SUMMARY

Astronauts during the Apollo missions were exposed to cosmic radiation levels ranging from 0.16 to 1.14 rads (1.6 to 11.4 mGy), significantly below the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's safety standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year. The missions, which occurred outside of Earth's magnetosphere and within the Van Allen belt, presented a manageable radiation risk for the duration of the trips to the Moon. The short exposure time of a few days kept radiation levels acceptable, mitigating potential health risks associated with long-term cosmic radiation exposure.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cosmic radiation and its effects on human health
  • Knowledge of the Earth's magnetosphere and Van Allen belts
  • Familiarity with radiation measurement units (rads, mGy, rem)
  • Basic principles of space travel and mission duration impacts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of long-term cosmic radiation exposure on human health
  • Learn about radiation shielding techniques for space missions
  • Explore the implications of cosmic radiation for future Mars missions
  • Investigate advancements in space travel safety protocols regarding radiation
USEFUL FOR

Astronauts, space mission planners, health physicists, and anyone interested in the safety of human space travel and radiation exposure risks.

ello,
there is a knowledge that above Earth's magnetosphere cosmic radiation is extremely high and unsafe for human life.
the lowest point of Earth's magnetosphere is 70.000 km,
the range between Earth and moon equals ~380.000 km,
we know that moon doesn't have own magnetic field.
So my question is -was astronauts damaged by cosmic radiation during appollo missions.
if not-why?

Astronomy news on Phys.org
Radiation increases with height even on the surface of earth, rises significantly once you reach the Van Allen belt and drops again afterwards.
For long journeys (to Mars, for example, or for a permanent base on Moon), this is a significant issue. For a few days, the radiation level is acceptable.

Wikipedia said:
The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity.
 
ty very much for link and answer, this is very interesting to know
