Abstract One of the main limitations to the sensitivity of observations carried out withthe ISOCAM infrared camera comes from the responsivity variations and glitchescaused by impacts of charged particles. After more than 28 months of successfuloperations, the predicted glitch rate has been re-evaluated and compared toin-flight measurements. Glitch properties have been studied in orderto improve the removal algorithms, and thus the ultimate sensitivity of ISOCAM.All informations about the glitch phenomenon are very useful in order toprepare next space experiments.
