This paper reviews the SEE (Single Event Effects) which have been observed on Japanese spacecraft in space since 1971, and summarizes the in-orbit SEL (Single Event Latchup) and SEU (Single Event Upset) data for 10 years from 4 Japanese satellites. The data is separated into solar maximum and solar minimum periods and into Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) and South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) groupings. Heavy ion and proton testing of the same flight parts are reported. Prediction rates using CREME9f6 codes with heavy ion LET cross sections and 2-parameter fits and CREME96 to proton cross section data are compared with the SEE flight data. The authors have followed the suggestions of Petersen for a good comparison paper. The extreme value theory is applied for the prediction of the maximum SEE rates from solar flare events and can be used to discriminate the effects of the solar events from a quiescent environment, and can also be used to examine outlier data points.
