Abstract :
A comparative study was executed of the performance of commonly used radiation transport tools in the predictive capability of the impact of the harsh electron-dominated radiation environment on spacecraft and payloads of the joint international Europa Jupiter System Mission. The effectiveness of multi-layered, graded shielding structures was analyzed and compared to the case of Earth orbits.
