Seller's Description:
Very good. x, 238, [8] pages. Illustrations (tables and figures). Appendices. Bibliography. Acronyms. Definitions. The author was associated with the Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation of Russian Academy of Sciences | IZMIRAN. This is volume 297 of the Astrophysics and Space Science Library. The Astrophysics and Space Science Library is a series of high-level monographs and edited volumes covering a broad range of subjects in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Cosmology, and Space Science. The authors are distinguished specialists with international reputations in their fields of expertise. Each title is carefully supervised and aims to provide an in-depth understanding by offering detailed background and the results of state-of-the-art research. The subjects are placed in the broader context of related disciplines such as Engineering, Computer Science, Environmental Science, and Nuclear and Particle Physics. The ASSL series offers a reliable resource for scientific professional researchers and advanced graduate students. The monograph contains 8 chapters: 1. Introduction of the radiation problem and information of radiation hazard in the near-Earth and interplanetary space. 2. Description of radiation conditions and main sources of charged particles in the Earth's environment and interplanetary space, effects of space on spacecraft. 3. Information about physical conditions in space and main sources of charged particles in the Earth's environment and interplanetary space. 4. Trapped radiation belts of the Earth: theory, spatial and temporal dynamics, and experimental and statistical models. 5. Galactic cosmic rays: energetic, temporal and spatial characteristics, long-term modulation, and anomalous cosmic ray component, modeling of their dynamics. 6. Production of energetic particles at/near the Sun: databases, acceleration, propagation, and prediction of individual SEP event, statistical models of solar cosmic rays. 7. Existing empirical techniques of estimating, prediction and modeling of radiation hazard, methodical approaches and constraints. 8. Unresolved problems of radiation hazard prediction and spacecraft protection, radiation experiments on board the spacecraft, estimating of radiation conditions during interplanetary missions.
