Abstract
Galactic cosmic radiation {GCR} mostly determines dose equivalents inside the spacecraft during long-term manned missions in space. In this paper some new results are collected concerning different characteristics of GCR’s. Together with earlier obtained data they show that during most part of the solar cycle such spaceflights are not possible. Attention is drawn to very great errors in the estimates of dose equivalent and shielding thickness.
