Space Radiation in the Literature

Space Radiation was conceived in 1989. Version 1.0 for MS-DOS was released in 1990. Since that time engineers throughout the world have used Space Radiation to model space environments and effects. The following books and papers show some of the applications of Space Radiation. If you have referred to Space Radiation in a publication and want it listed here, email the citation.
