Re[2]: Dose rate in outerspace?

[Randall_F_Brich@RL.gov]

Not knowing the shielding on the space station I have to guess a few rem.




Tad,
     
So, for those of us without www at the moment  :-)  what's the answer (rough, 
range; formal nasa estimate, or "informed guess") for Shannon Lucid for 6 
months (without depending on knowing how many times she traversed the SAA  
:-)
