Description:
Previously developed models for trapped electron radiation belts and trapped proton radiation belts in the Jovian magnetosphere are described. The spatial distribution of flux and the L shell dependence of the characteristic energy are displayed for both models. Based on these models, the fluence accumulated by a Jupiter flyby spacecraft is given in terms of the equivalent 3-MeV fluence for electrons and the equivalent 20-MeV proton fluence. Finally, some impacts of these fluences on outer planet missions are described.
