Description

The CREDANCE instrument suite flew on the DSX satellite between August 2019 and May 2021. CREDANCE monitored charging currents through a SURF detector, >40 MeV protons via a proton telescope, total ionising dose with two RADFETs, and LET spectra with an ion telescope. The data will be briefly reviewed before comparing the observations to predictions obtained with IRENE models. Comparisons will be presented for charging currents, proton fluxes, and total ionising dose, and the self-consistency of the results will be discussed.
