Space Radiation Environment Estimation for RADARSAT II.

Abstract

Estimation of the radiation environment for RADARSAT II satellite (to be launched in the fall 2000) is presented using industry standard space radiation models CREME and AE8/AP8. Radiation transport Monte Carlo codes TRIM and ITS 3.0 Tiger were then subsequently used to calculate the total radiation dose received by RADARSAT II during the planned 5.25 year mission.
