Abstract： A general design of solar neutral atom code mask imager (SONACOMI) is proposed. The instrument is designed to measure the solar energetic atom emitted from the solar flare or CME, measuring the differential energy spectrum of ENAs between 0.5MeV/u and 6MeV/u and FOV of ENAs covering . This instrument combines innovative sensor geometry, an m series coding mask modulation aperture, and a combination of high voltage deflecting plate of active and passive shielding charging particles to obtain ENAs in space flight.

Abstract： Radiation risk of astronauts during the flight in low earth orbit (LEO) and deep space exploration is mainly from the exposure of galactic cosmic ray (GCR). The radiation dose from GCR is the basis for the assessment of astronauts' radiation risk. In 2013, a new estimation method for the assessment of astronauts' radiation dose was presented by the International Committee on Radiological Protection (ICRP), so as to improve the assessment's accuracy of the radiation dose from heavy ions in space. Based on this method, a Monte Carlo program was developed for simulation of the particle transportation in materials and a voxel phantom of Chinese adult male was realized in this program to represent the astronaut. With this program, the fluence to dose conversion coefficients for the organs of astronauts were calculated for the isotropic exposure by particles with the atomic number from 1 to 92. The radiation dose to astronauts in LEO from GCR was also estimated. �2015, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA). All right reserved.
