Scientific paper

The importance of several orientation dependent factors in estimating single event upsets due to cosmic rays is investigated. These factors include earth's shadow, shielding and geomagnetic cutoff anisotropy, and angular dependence of device sensitivity. Calculated upset rates for two Shuttle configurations in low altitude and low inclination orbits vary by up to a factor of two depending on the method of calculation.
