Dosimeters for the EVARM experiment

Three badges, about the size of matchboxes, were placed in pockets inside spacesuits so researchers could measure the radiation that astronauts are exposed to. In studying the data obtained by these dosimeters, developed by Ottawa company Thomson Nielsen, the astronaut’s location at the time of the readings will be taken into account.
