Calculations of Expected Proton Fluences for a Flyby of Jupiter.

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory was requested to study the problem of radiation survivability for the Jupiter-Saturn spacecraft beginning with the 1976 launch. This report describes in some detail one phase of the survivability project: calculations of proton fluence spectra that might be expected from Jupiter's trapped radiation on the basis of the best trapped radiation models currently available.
