Space Radiation Cover Glass Experiment Part II: Experiment

Abstract

As commercial satellite launches become more common and the number of trajectories available for achieving a given orbit increases, theneed will also increase for a way to model the radiation exposure for such missions. By using the concepts of ionizing energy loss and ionizationdamage dose, we modeled the radiation exposure of five different electric orbit raising trajectories for satellites whose ultimate mission is 15-yearsin geosynchronous orbit. We report here the results of an initial experiment designed as a proof-of-concept.
