Cosmic Ray and Radiation Belt Hazards for Space Missions

An introductory overview

  • Chapter
Space Storms and Space Weather Hazards

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 38))

Abstract

Radiation hazard for space vehicles in near-Earth space is caused by a number of factors among which, besides the time of exposure to the radiation environment, the most significant are the orbital parameters of satellites, as well as the levels of solar and geomagnetic activities leading to radiation flux enhancement. The main components of the radiation environment, surrounding the Earth are: galactic cosmic rays, solar energetic particles and the radiation belts. All these components are subject to studies from the point of view of radiation impact on biological structures and spacecraft elements.
