Scientific paper

The Proton Spectrometer Belt Research (PSBR) program will place Relativistic Proton Spectrometer (RPS) instrumentation on board the Radiation Belt Storm Probes spacecraft and is to measure the inner Van Allen belt protons with energies from 50 MeV to 2 GeV. Presently, the intensity of trapped protons with energies beyond about 150 MeV is not well known and thought to be underestimated in existing specification models. Such protons are known to pose a number of hazards to astronauts and spacecraft; including total ionizing dose, displacement damage, single event effects, and nuclear activation. This instrument will address a priority highly ranked by the scientific and technical community and will extend the measurement capability of this mission to a range beyond that originally planned.
