- 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 (GCR), solar energetic particles(SEP) and the radiation belts (RB). All these components are subject to studies from the point of view of radiation impact on biological structures and spacecraft elements. This paper will present the current status of widely used model of RB, SEP and GCR and current efforts for their future varification and development.
