Description
The International Radiation Environment Near Earth Model (IRENE), formerly AE9/AP9/SPM, has provided the global satellite design community with enhanced specification capabilities over legacy models since 2012. Based on feedback from the community we have continued to improve and expand capabilities of the model suite. We have recently released updates to version 1.5 providing more features for capturing statistics such as variable timescale fluences and worst-case quantities. Pending updates will incorporate data sets including Pamela, PROBA-V, EPT, SREM, NASA’s Van Allen Probes (remaining data), and AFRL’s DSX. Version 2.0 will provide a new module-based architecture supporting additional hazard models (e.g., solar protons), new module-specific capabilities (e.g., local time dependence for plasma), and improved stitching between models. We will provide an update on development status and plans for future versions.
