Impact of the South Atlantic Anomaly on radiation exposure at flight altitudes during solar minimum
Abstract The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a geographical region over the South Atlantic Ocean where the inner Van Allen radiation belt extends down particularly close to Earth. This leads to highly increased levels of ionizing radiation and related impacts on spacecraft in Low Earth Orbits, e.g.,...
