Satellite Radiation Dose Rate

Started by Artist January 13, 2024
I am seeking data on what radiation doses electronics on a satellites 
get in both low, and high, earth orbits. I need this in units of Gray 
(Gy), or rem.

I know radiation exposure will change depending on Solar Cycle Phase, 
and the orbit, especially if polar, and also when passing over the South 
Atlantic Anomaly, and shielding. What I need is typical exemplar data 
for a short mission of one hour, and a long mission of many years, 
preferably collected from actual satellites. If you have this 
information please include the source.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Fig 1 of this paper shows something in the South Atlantic. Fig 3 of this paper part answers your altitude question: <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/common-misconceptions-radiation-hardness-integrated-circuits-shunkov> piglet

Those units are intended to quantify not radiation per se, but rather health effects/tissue damage from radiation. No human or animal should be exposed to space conditions in orbit, so this info won't be very useful.
