AB: A small particle telescope based on two silicon detectors was flown on three NASA Shuttle-to-MIR missions and on the Russian orbital station MIR behind a shielding of about 10-20 g/cm² in low Earth orbits at 51.6 degree inclination during 1996/98. The instrument was also flown as part of DOSMAP and as part of MATROSHKA onboard the ISS during 2001/2004. The instrument was designed to measure count rates and dose rates as well as energy deposit spectra (in silicon) of the radiation inside the spacecraft. The MATROSHKA facility was mounted outside the ISS at the Russian segment. The count rate dependence on the L-parameter for crossings of the inner and outer radiation belts will presented as well as temporal changes of the South Atlantic Anomaly during the years 1996-2004.
