Space dosimetry measurements in the stratosphere using different active and passive dosimetry systems

This article presents the scientific goals and results in detail. From the TRITEL measurements, the linear energy transfer spectra, the average quality factor of the cosmic radiation as well as the absorbed dose and the dose equivalent were determined. Estimations for the uncertainty in the TRITEL measurements were given. The deposited energy spectra measured with the TRITEL instrument were compared with the count rates measured with the GM counters. The experiences and results gained in the frame of the project will be used in the evaluation of TRITEL data from measurements on board the International Space Station. As an outlook a short overview is given of the planned rocket radiation experiments based on the system used in the BEXUS programme.
