Dr. Astro Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 4211721 United States 03/03/2013 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Simple. It's not enough to be dangerous given Apollo's trajectory. It also does not suggest that the belts are more dangerous than we previously though; it was a temporary feature during a time when the outer belt was itself diminished. "The shock wave scoured away much of the outer ring and then divided the remains into two distinct sections" [link to www.scientificamerican.com] That in no way implies a greater amount of total flux in the belts. In reality, there was a lower total flux during the period of time in which the new middle belt existed. Here's the actual data from the probes. Part a. shows the normal, classic distribution of the van allen belts (what NASA would have expected in 1969): [link to img831.imageshack.us] Part b. shows a period of time where the outer belt had been depleted by the first shock wave, but at this point the distribution itself is still "classic" with a single inner belt and outer belt. Part c. shows the new distribution of the remaining electrons, which is now more diffuse and lower in flux than the classic distribution, but has a new gap within what used to be a single outer belt, thus there are now three belts instead of two. Part e. shows the annihilation of the outer belt region due to another shock wave. About a week later the distribution returned to the normal classic configuration seen in part a. due to another shock wave. So no, not a problem for Apollo. If anything had this been the configuration of the belts during their departure for the moon or their return to earth, it would mean that they would have received even less of a dose than would otherwise be expected, and the normally expected dose given their trajectory and the areal density of their spacecraft (7~8 g/cm^2) was anything but dangerous: [link to i319.photobucket.com] Last Edited by Astromut on 03/03/2013 09:17 PM |
