Development and use of data-analysis procedures for the CRRES (Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite) payloads AFGL-701-2/Dosimeter and AFGL-701-4/Fluxmeter and application of the data analysis results to improve the static and dynamic models of the earth's radiation belts. Scientific report No. 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7058057

The Earth's magnetospheric radiation environment is a major hazard for spaceborne electronic systems. This report documents work aimed at providing the U.S. Air Force with accurate, time dependent radiation belt and cosmic ray environmental specifications. The data for this effort is obtained from two instruments to be flown aboard the Combined Release and Radiation Satellite (CRRES). These instruments are the Energetic Particle Dosimeter and the High Energy Fluxmeter.
