This technical report documents the software package CRRESPRO developed by the Phillips Laboratory. The CRRESPRO utility calculates proton omnidirectional fluence and integral omnidirectional fluence over the energy range 1-100 MeV for orbits specified by the user. Proton fluence is calculated from proton flux models created using data measured by the proton telescope (PROTEL) on the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES), which flew in a geosynchronous transfer orbit for 14 months during solar maximum. Because the March 1991 magnetic storm caused a reconfiguration of the inner magnetosphere resulting in double proton belts for certain energies, two CRRES models were constructed. The quiet (single proton belt) model uses PROTEL data from July 1990 to March 1991, and the active (double proton belt) model uses data from March 1991 to October 1991. CRRESPRO is best applied to orbits with altitudes greater than 1000 km. Unlike its sister program, CRRESRAD, CRRESPRO gives 100 percent coverage for orbits of any inclination.
