Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS)

Paris, Monday 22nd March, 2010

SPENVIS: Overview

• SPENVIS = user-friendly human interface to models of the space environment and its effects.– From model to model

• Trajectory generator• Space environment• Environmental effects

– For each model• Input parameters• Model run• Report, results & plots

– Rapid analysis of problems related to:cosmic rays, solar energetic particles, natural radiation belts, magnetic fields, space plasmas, upper atmosphere, meteoroids and debris, illumination

– Extended help

SPENVIS: recent changes (version 4.6.3, February 11, 2010)

• Extending to other planets (Mars, Jupiter)• Space environment

– Earth radiation belts: IGE2006/POLE– Solar energetic particles: PSYCHIC model (Xapsos et al.)– Cosmics rays: ISO-15390; Nymmik et al 1996

• Environmental effects– Solar cell radiation damage: RDC converter;

displacement damage dose– SEU rate: GaAs device; additional algorithms– Surface charging: Burke’s equation; auroral environment

• Geant4 tools (simulation of radiation transport)– Magnetocosmics; Planetocosmics– Interface layout; geometry definition
