This article presents a study of the response ofthe silicon on insulator (SOI) microdosimeter with 3-D sensitivevolumes (SVs) to 400 MeV/u 16O and 500 MeV/u 56Fe ionsmimicking galactic cosmic rays outside and inside the International Space Station (ISS). An average quality factor ( Q¯ ) andthe dose equivalent (H) of the radiation field were obtainedexperimentally, and the results were compared with GEANT4simulations.Index Terms— Galactic cosmic rays (GCR), heavy ions,International Space Station (ISS), silicon on insulator (SOI)microdosimete
