In the effort to further understanding of the Jovian moon Europa, a Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) joint team are developing the Europa Clipper spacecraft concept that would provide multiple flybys of Europa during its tour. During the flyby maneuvers, the proposed Europa Clipper spacecraft would be required to operate within the high radiation environment. In order to protect the sensitive electronics of the spacecraft, the current radiation protection approach is to locate these electronics within a radiation vault. This paper documents the study performed addressing the construction and geometry of this electronics radiation vault.
