Abstract :
A general adjoint coupled electron-photon Monte Carlo code for solving the Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck equation has recently been created. It is a modified version of ITS 3.0, a coupled electron-photon Monte Carlo code that has worldwide distribution. The applicability of the new code to radiation-interaction problems of the type found in space environments is demonstrated
