Radiation environment measurements with SPICA on-board the MIR station

Spectre de Particules et Influence sur les Composants Avances (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 South Atlantic anomaly position). A two-dimensional correlation technique is used to estimate the shielding of the MIR station.
