The central objective of the Earth-Moon-Mars Radiation Environment Module (EMMREM) is to develop a numerical model for completely characterizing the time-dependent radiation environment in the Earth-Moon- Mars and Interplanetary space environments. The Module includes a 3D energetic particle transport model (EPREM), and utilizes a version of the Baryon Transport code (BRYNTRN). With the initial setup of the EMMREM framework in place, we are turning to performing realistic simulations and comparisons with observations from GOES, Ulysses, LRO/CRaTER, and MSL/RAD. We present the results from a validation of the EMMREM module for characterizing the space radiation environment of the inner Heliosphere. Simultaneous observations by GOES and ULYSSES of solar energetic protons for several major SEP events are compared with EMMREM simulations, and resulting proton flux time series analyzed to determine the quality of the fit. EMMREM predictions for the dose equivalent and accumulated dose equivalent throughout those events are discussed. We also compare a well established benchmark proton fluence spectrum for the August 1972 SEP event based on IMP-5 spacecraft observations with EMMREM simulations for the locations of IMP-5 (1 AU) and Pioneer 10 (2 AU), and discuss accumulated radiation quantities throughout the event.
