The space station is in low Earth orbit, so quite low inside the earth’s magnetic field. That’s why the radiation flux shown in the first chart you linked is so low relative to Mars, even though the earth is much closer to the sun. However we have sent out multiple probes able to measure the radiation environment away from earth. There’s lots more to learn, but we already know a fair bit. |
