Package of computer programs developed to predict cosmic-ray environment for spacecraft in orbit near Earth. Single cosmic-ray particle deposits enough electrical charge on sensitive area of individual circuit to change bit state. Single-event upsets may not cause permanent damage but upset functioning devices. Used to predict upset rate for space mission. Also calculates time-average cosmic-ray environment for multiple circular orbits, fragments of trajectories, and isolated points. Package written in HPL for interactive execution and implemented on HP 9825B desktop computer.
