Environment Specification: In-Orbit Verification
Welcome to the Spacecraft Design - In-orbit verification service
Overview
The service "Spacecraft Design - In-orbit verification" aims to provide a best estimate of the local environment that has been experienced by a spacecraft either through measurements or reconstruction for in-flight validation of environment specifications (i.e. ionising radiation, plasma, microparticles, atmosphere, and UV) and consequent effects (e.g. dose, single event upset, sensor background, cumulated charge, spacecraft anomalies, microparticle impacts).
This service is implemented through a combination of products and tools which can be found in the section below along with expert support provided by the teams constituting the ESA Space Weather Service Network. Should you require further guidance in the use of this service, or have specific questions about any aspects of the service presented here, don’t hesitate to contact the Helpdesk.

User Manual
Spacecraft need to be able to withstand the effects that the multitude range of phenomena (e.g. solar flares, coronal mass ejections, solar energetic particle events) in the dynamic space environment may have on technology. The goal of spacecraft radiation shielding is to protect the crew and hardware (exterior and interior) from the radiation environment encountered in space. When designing and building a spacecraft both short- and long-term cumulative effects must be considered. The development and improvement of models providing environment specifications and effects predictions is an important aspect in advancing the design of future efficient shielding. A number of tools and products can be used to generated the environment specifications which can then be compared with the available measurement data.
