  • Abstract
    The particle data measured by the energetic particle detector (EPD) and heavy ion counter (HIC) on board Galileo were used to update the radiation environments at Jupiter: EPD data for trapped electrons and HIC data for trapped carbon, oxygen, and sulfur ions. The models developed in this study were successfully used to generate the total dose and single event effect environments for a sample mission to Europa.
