The Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) is a small, autonomous, lightweight instrument presently operating on a Department of Defense geosynchronous satellite. Developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory, CEASE maintains space situational awareness to provide real-time hazard warnings to the host spacecraft and also aids in radiation belt model development. The CEASE in geosynchronous orbit was launched in August 2001 and since activation, has continuously collected data. Equipped with two dosimeters, a particle telescope, and an electrostatic analyzer, it measures protons and electrons that cause the following anomalies: surface and deep dielectric charging, SEUs (Single Event Upsets), and radiation rate and dose effects. The two dosimeters measure particles in twelve channels: Dosimeter 1 is located behind a 0.20-cm thick Al shield and Dosimeter 2 behind a similar 0.63-cm thick Al shield. The energy deposited by each incident particle is measured and then identified as a Low Linear Energy Transfer (LOLET, 50 KeV
