Event rates were calculated for LEO (ISS) and GEO environments by combining CREME96 orbital integral flux estimations and simplified SEE cross-sections according to methods described in Heavy Ion Orbital Environment Single-Event Effects Estimations application report. We assume a minimum shielding configuration of 100 mils (2.54 mm) of aluminum, and “worst-week” solar activity (this is similar to a 99% upper bound for the environment). Using the 95% upper-bounds for the SEL and the SEB/SEGR, the event rate calculation for the SEL and the SEB/SEGR is shown on Table 9-1 and Table 9-2, respectively. It is important to note that this number is for reference since no SEL or SEB/SEGR events were observed.
