[...] Circe et Nausica, ont permis de caractériser l'environnement radiatif de la station Mir pendant plusieurs années. Grâce à un compteur proportionnel équivalent au tissu biologique, différents paramètres radiatifs ont pu être étudiés : l'équivalent de dose ambiante, la dose absorbée, le facteur de qualité moyen du rayonnement, la fréquence d'événements et le transfert linéique d'énergie. Ces mesures ont mis en évidence l'influence des variations spatiales et temporelles du champ magnétique, et notamment l'effet des éruptions solaires. 1, record 1, French, - compteur%20proportionnel%20%C3%A9quivalent%20au%20tissu%20biologique
