Results of monitoring the radiation environment in medium circular orbit

Problem definition - these data will form the basis for the development of technical solutions that will minimize mass, time and financial costs while ensuring the radiation resistance of on-board equipment and the spacecraft as a whole. Goal - the experimental dose control complex measures the level of absorbed ionizing space radiation doses in the sensitive element, assesses the radiation effects influence on the spacecraft, determines spacecraft’s residual radiation resource and refines impact models of the ionizing space radiation, located on an experimental spacecraft “Skif-D”, which was launched into orbit H=8070 km and inclination 90°. Results - flight experiment demonstrated high convergence of the comparative analysis’ results of the experimentally obtained impact levels in orbit of the operation of the “Skif-D” spacecraft with the impact model stated in the Russian Federation Scientific and Technical Documentation (OST134-1044-2007 amend.1 (2017) “Methods of the calculation of radiating conditions on-board of spacecrafts and specification of requirements for resistance of radio-electronic equipment of spacecrafts to the action of the charged particles from the space of natural origin”); Practical value - successful modernization of the ICDRM integral accumulated dose sensors in terms of their miniaturization and transition to a digital output (flight qualification of the sensors was obtained); the prospects of the concept of monitoring the integral accumulated radiation dose using semiconductor detectors with individual mass protection; experimental confirmation of a higher radiation exposure in the range of typical protections for ECB equal to 0.5-3 g/cm², on a 8000 km circular orbit compared to the GEO and 1500 km circular orbit.
