Environmental Constraints for Polar Platform Design

Abstract

The considerable investment implicit in large space platforms makes assessment of both their environment and their environmental interactions of utmost importance. In this Report the new factors of relevance to the Polar Platform are reviewed, and environment models and radiation transport codes are employed to assess primary and secondary particle fluxes, dose rates and energy- loss spectra. Monitors are described which can improve the data base. Spacecraft, Great Britain. (JES)
