12:15 Results from the ICARE-NG detectors onboard SAC-D, JASON 2 and JASON 3 satellites

15 years ago, CNES and ONERA developed a low mass and low power solid state detector named ICARE-NG. This monitor has been flying on the SAC-D and JASON 2 satellites and is currently monitoring the Earth radiation belts onboard JASON-3 spacecraft. We review here the benefits of such a detector (much simpler than a scientific one) providing multi-spacecraft measurements in Low Earth Orbit. In particular, these monitors are a rare opportunity to observe both long term variations in LEO and gradients between orbits.

Speaker: Dr Vincent Maget (ONERA)

Slides ONERA_MAGET_ICAREdata.pdf

12:50 Highly energetic electrons in the inner zone

The existence of high energy (E>1MeV) electrons in the inner zone is always a debate issue. We tried with several clues to solve the problem they arise. First, using NOAA measurements and in particular a proton channel contaminated by E>1.2MeV electrons, the slot filling was studied over solar cycles. Then the found profiles were compared to the CRRES and SAMPEX measurements. Finally, using a simplistic physical model derived from Salammbô, the variations were estimated to understand the long term behavior of the electrons in the inner belt.

14:00 Impact of the consideration of the LEO trapped proton anisotropy on dose calculation at component level

Trapped proton fluxes are anisotropic at Low Earth Orbits (LEO). However, this characteristic is not taken into account in the radiation environment specification of space missions. The goal of the study was to show if such a consideration has an impact on the radiation analysis results. The proton anisotropy was considered and doses were calculated at component level taking into account the orientation and full geometry of the satellite.

14:20 A New Proton Model for Low Altitude High Energy Specification (OPAL)

A model of high energy protons for low altitude (below 800 km) mission specification has been developed at ONERA. This model is based on the long duration NOAA measurement series. We used only the highest omnidirectional channel from SEM on board the old NOAA satellites, and the corresponding channel from SEM-2 on board the new NOAA ones, as the other channels are contaminated by electrons. This gives us a basis for the model for >82 MeV protons. This model was extended in energy by using ICARE-NG measurements on board JASON-2 and HEPAD measurements on board NOAA-6. It gives integrated proton flux in the range 80-600 MeV at altitudes lower than 800 km along the solar cycle.

Speaker: Mrs Angélica SICARD-PIET (ONERA)

Slides Sicard_OPAL.pdf

14:40 A new Global Radiation Earth Environement (GREEN) model

The well known AP8 and AE8 NASA models are commonly used in the industry to specify the radiation belt environment. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in the use of these models, first due to the covered energy range, but also because in some regions of space, there are discrepancies between the predicted average values and the measurements. Therefore, a new model has been developped at ONERA, GREEN (Global Radiation Earth ENvironement) covering a large region of space and energy, from LEO altitudes to GEO and above, and from plasma to relativistic particles and depending of the year of the solar cycle. The aim for the first version of this new model is to correct the AP8 and AE8 models where they are deficient or not defined, by using local models as IGE-2006, Slot model, OZONE, OPAL,...

15:15 Coffee Break

15:30 Impact of the consideration of AE9/AP9 models on the space radiation environment specification

AE9/AP9 radiation belt models were developed to substitute the commonly used AE8/AP8 models for trapped particles. This study explored the impact of the integration of these new models into environment specifications. Multiple mission types were considered such as LEO, MEO and electrical orbital rising trajectories. Dose and displacement damage calculations were performed using FASTRAD® and applying both Ray Tracing and Reverse Monte Carlo methods on actual satellite radiation models.

Speaker: Dr Athina Varotsou (TRAD)

15:50 Benchmarking Ionising Space Environment models

In flight feedback data are collected such as displacement damage doses, ionizing doses, cumulated SEUs, and DSNU on Star Tracker on board various space vehicles and are compared to predictions performed with (1) proton measurements performed with spectrometers data on board the same spacecraft if any and (2) protons spectrum predicted by the legacy AP8min model and the AP9 and OPAL models. When an accurate representation of the 3D spacecraft shielding as well as appropriate ground calibrations are considered in the calculations such comparisons provide powerful metrics to investigate engineering model accuracy. To describe > 30 MeV trapped protons fluxes, AP8 min model is found to provide closer predictions to observations than AP9 V1.30.001 (Mean and Perturbed mean).

16:25 Data assimilation technique applied to electron Earth radiation belts

An Ensemble Kalman filter combined with the Salammbô 3D tool has been used to produce a re-analysis data base of the electron radiation belt from September 2012 to end of 2015. RBSP-A&B/MagEis data, GOES-13/MagEd and GOES-13/SEM data were ingested by the system. So far only omni-directional fluxes have been considered in this study. The time resolution of the re-analysis data base is 10 minutes and covers electron energies above 300 keV. The results obtained are compared/validated against INTEGRAL/SREM data. Performance of the data assimilation tool will be discussed as well as ways of improvement for the future.

Speaker: Dr Sebastien Bourdarie (ONERA)

Slides FPdays_Assimilation_SBourdarie.pdf

16:45 Impact of the mission definition parameters on the space radiation environment specification

For the definition of the space radiation environment, missions are usually defined with a standard number of orbits and number of points per orbit. It has been shown that the modification of these parameters can induce differences on the results. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the definition of the mission parameters on the fluxes of particles but also on the calculated dose and displacement damage. Six representative orbits were selected but also six cases of electrical orbital rising trajectories were studied. The results allow to make recommendations for each mission type.

09:30 Impact of the detector definition on the Reverse Monte Carlo calculation result

Different types of detectors are used for the TID calculation based on the RMC method: points and volumes. The impact of their location, their dimensions and their shape has been studied taking into account different geometric models with an increasing complexity. The impact depends on the particle environment and on whether the detector is located inside or at the surface of the spacecraft.

09:50 Comparison of TNID calculation methods

Analysis of the results allows to make recommendations on the choice of the calculation method based on the complexity of the radiation model.

11:45 Recoil atom flux calculation in electronic components by Monte Carlo method

The evolution in the microelectronic field leads to the presence of high Z materials close to the sensitive volume of electronic components. Through interactions with highly energetic protons, as is the case in irradiation facilities or in space, recoil atoms can reach these sensitive volumes with high LET. Based on worst case hypotheses, this study showed the presence of high LET recoil particles in the component sensitive area, displayed their LET distribution and located their volume of origin.
