SBOK029D April 2018 – November 2023 TMP461-SP
Event rates were calculated for LEO (ISS) and GEO environments by combining CREME96 orbital integral flux estimations. The error rate was calculated using the upper bound cross section calculated as discussed in Appendix A and the integral flux at approximately LETEFF = 48 MeV∙cm2/mg for LEO (ISS) and GEO. A minimum shielding of 100 mils (2.54 mm) of aluminum and Worst Week solar activity was assumed. Worst Week is similar to 99% upper bound for the environment.
ORBIT TYPE | ONSET LETEFF (MeV∙cm2/mg) | CREME96 INTEGRAL FLUX (/day∙cm2) | σ SAT (cm²) | EVENT RATE (/DAY) | EVENT RATE (FIT) | MTBE (YEARS) |

LEO (ISS) | 8.7000 | 5.38E-01 | 2.78E-05 | 8.27E-06 | 3.44E+02 | 3.31E+02 |
GEO | 4.54E-02 | 6.50E-05 | 2.71E+03 | 4.21E+01 |
