Abstrak

The growth of the aerospace industry has made the detection of cosmic radiation essential. That led to a proposal for the development of an optoelectronic detector of cosmic radiation. This will allow continuous measurement of acceptable levels of radiation. The device is currently in its initial development phase, focusing on the detection of ionising radiation. Tests have been carried out with high-energy radiation simulators in the form of natural radioactive sources, confirming the performance of the overall system. The cosmic ray sensor of the study has numerous potential applications, particularly in the aerospace industry. Crew safety could be enhanced by a miniature sensor that measures the absorbed dose of cosmic radiation. Existing passive methods of dose measurement have been ineffective because they provide information about radiation with a delay of several weeks. Active monitoring of irradiation levels enables ongoing control of the dose taken, which is crucial for employee health.
