Scientific paper

The space radiation environment has always presented a major problem to space systems. With the demand for more sensitive electronic components in spacecraft, modelling both the environment and the effects of the environment will become more important. An engineer with accurate models of the environment can optimise the radiation shielding of sensitive parts, reducing mass, and possibly select a better orbit with a more benign environment. An outline of the environment models and software used for the analysis of ESA missions is presented. The tools can be broken down into two categories: environment and effects. An overview of the use of the UNIRAD and CREME environment analysis models, and the ESABASE/DOSRAD and GEANT tools is presented. The limitations and problem area of the current engineering tools will be discussed.
