The vulnerability of spacecraft materials and components to trapped radiation in aerospace environment is considered along with which orbits the radiation effects are most likely to occur. It seems that the effects on organic polymers are embrittlement, change of modulus and coefficient of expansion; on optics the effects are discoloration and distortion. The effects on integrated circuits are also listed.
