The ability to accurately model the radiation environment at any time for planetary surfaces is a necessity in the evaluation of health risk to astronauts on deep space missions. Several examples, including models for Lunar, Martian, and Jovian environments, are discussed. In these models, the differential spectra for neutrons as well as charged ions are evaluated. Since surface radiation environments are made up of a combination of free space particles scattered through the planetary atmosphere and backscattered particles from the surface, these models include a dependence on both altitude and surface material as well as time in the solar cycle.
