Summary/Abstract: The issue of exposure to cosmic radiation during high altitude flights is one of the problems which coincided with the cosmic technology and aviation development. The cosmic radiation issue has rarely been considered and is relatively unknown to the general public even though the impacts of this radiation are more than significant, which is confirmed by past research in this area. In the past, cosmic medicine mainly dealth with physiological problems, and very little with aviation-cosmic prevention. However, some of the burning issues of cosmic voyage and longer stay in cosmos are hardly solvable or insoluble, and it is possible only to mitigate their consequences. Legal regulation has the effect on decrease in harmful effects of cosmic radiation by limiting the time spent in flying for air crew, while the special protection from this type of radiation for passengers is mainly not predicted. In this paper, the regulations on ionizing radiation protection, especially protection from cosmic radiation in aviation are explained and research studies on risks this radiation brings are presented.
