A pair of dosimeters aboard satellites in Molniya orbit have made measurements of the radiation dose under 0.69 gm/sq.cm of aluminum. The measured dose was substantially less than that predicted by the NASA AE-8 and AP-8 models. The cause of the difference cannot be determined with certainty. One possibility is tha AP-8 is in agreement with the observations and that AE-8 leads to a substantial overestimate of the dose due to electrons. Keywords: Dosimeters; Satellites. (jhd)
