Modelling the Exposure of Satellites in Medium Earth Orbit to Proton Belt Radiation
Geomagnetically trapped protons forming Earth's proton radiation belt pose a hazard to orbiting spacecraft. In particular, solar cells are prone to degradation caused by non-ionising collisions with protons in the energy range of several megaelectron volts, which can ultimately shorten the lifespan …

Controlled precipitation of energetic Van Allen belt protons by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves : scientific and engineering implications
The inner Van Allen radiation belt traps highly energetic protons sourced from solar storms, cosmic rays and other processes. These particles can rapidly damage the space systems orbiting the inner region, limiting access to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Decades of modeling and observations, however, show …
