Scientific paper

The Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) was launched on-board the USAF Space Test Program (STP) Tri-Service Experiment-5 (TSX-5) satellite on June 7, 2000 into a 410 X 1710 km orbit with a 70 degree inclination. CEASE is a small (10X10X8.2 cc), low-power (1.5 W), low-mass (1 kg) instrument that measures the local space radiation environment and generates warnings of radiation damage, dielectric charging, and single event effects (SEE). CEASE uses a complement of five silicon, solid-state sensors to measure the radiation environment: two independent dosimeter detectors, a two-element energetic particle telescope, and an SEE detector. The low-earth, highly inclined orbit is ideal for demonstrating the instrument's capabilities. Apogee occurs in the inner proton belt, perigee occurs in a very benign environment, and the high inclination portions of the trajectory pass through the auroral oval and the horns of the outer electron belt. Over two years of flight data and its interpretation will be presented.
