Knowledge of the potential impact of the radiation environment on evolving space borne devices rely on effective analysis tools for the understanding and the prediction of the basic effects of the particle environment on new technologies. In addition to experimental measurements, detailed numerical analyses are mandatory for the evaluation of the effects to detectors and components and, in human exploration initiatives, also to humans. The GEANT4 particle transport software is being used for a broad range of space applications. Current ESA-initiated activities in this area include calculation of radiation fluxes inside the ISS and for interplanetary missions, improved hadronic models, prediction of the radiation environment on other planets in presence of local atmospheres and magnetic fields, and studies of effects of radiation at the cellular and sub-cellular level.
