Fabricate, Calibrate and Test a Dosimeter for Integration into the CRRES (Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite) Satellite

Abstract

The objective of this effort was to produce a radiation dosimeter for high energy electrons (1-10 MeV), protons of energy greater than 20 MeV, and nuclear interactions effects on solid state detectors aboard the combined release and radiation effects satellite (CRRES). The data to be acquired is needed to resolve uncertainties in the calculations of radiation hardness requirements. The instrument has been successfully calibrated and tested. Re- integration of the instruments onto the CRRES satellite is proceedings and launch of CRRES is confirmed for JUNE, 1990. Keywords: Dosimeter; Electron dose; Particle fluxes; Space radiation.
