Abstract

The Cosmic Radiation Environment and Activation Monitor (CREAM) is taking regular measurements in the upper atmosphere on board Concorde, while a different version of the same instrument is scheduled for flights on the Space Shuttle in September and November 1991. Meanwhile, a sister instrument (CREDO) is continuously monitoring the environment in Sun-synchronous orbit on board UOSAT-3. These simultaneous flights of similar instruments enable intercomparison of environments as well as verification of predictive models and correlation with device behavior. The extensive data set encompasses both quiet-time data and solar-particle events. Both Concorde and UOSAT-3 results are examined.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
