The dosimetric results obtained by area dosimeters are published in JAXA’s PADLES database
and utilized to support the planning of Life Science experiments in Kibo and astronauts’ flights,
as well as to estimate the shielding effects of the JPM wall thickness or modify Japanese
radiation simulation codes, and will be based on the next future human spaceflight.
