Annotation

A method is considered for using a computer to derive the omnidirectional electron and proton fluxes from the initial data set for a wide class of space-probe paths in the Earth's radiation belts over the energy range from 0.1 to 400 MeV for protons and from 40 keV to 4 MeV for electrons; allowance is made for the phase of the solar cycle. Integral proton and electron spectra may be derived for the days of flight, which can be used in calculating absorbed radiation doses behind various forms of shielding in a given orbit. Data are given on the electron fluxes at low levels.
