“…The dose-equivalent rates, indicating the biological effect that is calculated from a physical dose measurement, are about 0.5–0.62 mSv/day on the International Space Station (ISS) [ 11 , 12 ], 1.15 mSv/day on the surface of the moon of the Earth [ 13 , 14 ], 0.5 mSv/day on the surface of Mars [ 15 ], and 1.84 mSv/day during the flight from the Earth to Mars [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In our “Stem Cells” experiment, mouse ES cells were frozen and kept in MELFI on the ISS for 1584 days to quantitate the biological effect of space radiation [ 18 , 19 ]. The physical doses were measured by a passive dosimeter for life science experiments in space (PADLES), and it was revealed that the absorbed dose rate of space radiation in MELFI was 0.36 mGy/day, and the dose-equivalent rate was 0.53 mSv/day, as shown in Figure 1 [ 19 ].…”
