Scientific paper

Space radiation has become a primary consideration in the design of modern spacecraft. This paper addresses one aspect of the radiation problem, namely, the particulate radiation environment, by reviewing the current models of that environment. Particular emphasis is on the Earth's trapped radiation belts and on the solar flare proton environment, as these are the primary environments of concern in estimating spacecraft dosage. Solar flare heavy ions and Galactic cosmic rays are also covered, as these environments are of special importance to single event upset modeling - a major concern for the new generation of microelectronics. In addition, models of neutrons and other interplanetary radiation environments are discussed.
