Abstract :
SPICA is an integrated test bench for the study of the space environment and its effects on electronic devices. Particles detection results measured in MIR orbit are presented and compared to the prediction of the AP8 model (proton flux and SAA position). A 2D-correlation technique is used to estimate the shielding of the MIR Station.
