9 9 soil atmosphere LIP developed dMEREM, a Geant4 based model for the radiation environment on Mars, Phobos and Deimos, including local treatment of surface topography and composition, atmospheric composition and density (including diurnal + annual variations) and local magnetic fields. Most SEPs are degraded in the atmosphere and do not reach the surface! Higher energy GCR reach the surface and originate albedo neutrons, increasing the ambient dose values – need mitigation strategies for longer periods on the surface.

10 The most dangerous mission phase from the point of view of human spaceflight is the interplanetary space travel ! The biggest danger is the possibility of a SEP reaching the mission. Mitigation Strategies are under development: Shelters inside water compartments or other Faster propulsion systems SEP Forecasting tools and alarms 10

27 “Depending on their use and their performance, radiation monitoring devices can be classified into 2 general classes and 4 categories. Devices designed for providing in-situ environment data to the host spacecraft: 1.Coarse radiation housekeeping 2.Alert and safeguarding function 3.Support to platform and payload systems Devices designed for providing data usable for engineering models improvement or for general space weather services: 4.Future mission preparation and provision of science data Categories (3) and (4) have quite similar specifications…” The ESCC/CTB Radiation Working Group requirements 27

31 31 Interaction of Titan's ionosphere with Saturn's magnetosphere. Coates AJCoates AJ. Source Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London, Holmbury St Mary, Dorking RH5 6NT, UK. ajc@mssl.ucl.ac.uk Abstract Titan is the only Moon in the Solar System with a significant permanent atmosphere. Within this nitrogen-methane atmosphere, an ionosphere forms. Titan has no significant magnetic dipole moment, and is usually located inside Saturn's magnetosphere. Atmospheric particles are ionized both by sunlight and by particles from Saturn's magnetosphere, mainly electrons, which reach the top of the atmosphere. So far, the Cassini spacecraft has made over 45 close flybys of Titan, allowing measurements in the ionosphere and the surrounding magnetosphere under different conditions. Here we review how Titan's ionosphere and Saturn's magnetosphere interact, using measurements from Cassini low-energy particle detectors. In particular, we discuss ionization processes and ionospheric photoelectrons, including their effect on ion escape from the ionosphere. We also discuss one of the unexpected discoveries in Titan's ionosphere, the existence of extremely heavy negative ions up to 10000amu at 950km altitude

37 37 Models The NASA Galileo Mission data Three models are currently available, see Figure I‐8: The Divine and Garett model which is constructed using data from Pioneer 10 and 11 and which extends to 10 jovian radii RJ for protons and more than 100 RJ for electrons [RD.20]. GIRE (Galileo Interim Electron Environment) based on Galileo and Pioneer electron data between 8 to 16 RJ [RD.83] and developed at ONERA [RN.17] using a physical model. This model has been validated by comparing calculated synchroton radiation with that measured from the ground by the VLA telescope and extends to 10 RJ. JOSE Galileo data and validated with all relevant data measured by spacecraft having flown by or orbited Jupiter, in order to obtain an easy- to-use engineering model for Jupiter's environment. This model has been developed for protons and electrons from several tens of keV to several hundreds of MeV.
