Abstract :
Seventeen commercially available films were evaluated for their sensitivity to ionizing radiation during a projected near-earth orbital mission. Although the evaluating technique described is not rigorous, it is useful in obtaining engineering estimates of tolerable radiation exposure levels for films used in near-earth orbital missions.
