We have calculated world grids of vertical cutoff rigidities at 5° intervals for a spacecraft orbiting at 450 km. These cutoff rigidity values were determined from tracing cosmic ray trajectories through the Tsyganenko [15] magnetospheric field model combined with the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) for epoch 1995.0 [7]. This paper summarizes the results of these calculations for all magnetic conditions represented by Kp indices ranging from super quiet (Kp=0) to extremely disturb ed (Kp=9+ ). We have improved the time resolution and now have world grids of vertical cutoff rigidities at 450 km for every two hours in universal time. From these results we have assembled a dynamic vertical cutoff rigidity model based on the Tsyganenko magnetospheric model that includes all integer magnetic activity levels specified by the Kp magnetic index.
