In connection with programs for the exploration of the outer planets, several models have been developed and used to analyze the radiation hazard to the spacecraft. Typical components found in space flight science instruments have been tested to determine their capability to function properly before, after and, in some cases during, exposures to energy equivalenced levels predicted by the models. A summary of proton-irradiation tests is provided.
