Abstract
This paper presents the prediction of various space radiation parameters for PakSat. The measurement of the parameters includes the measurement of trapped particles, solar energetic protons and Galactic Cosmic Rays. The outcome of this paper is the radiation dose prediction that the satellite will have to encounter while in orbit. The necessary space radiation effects are pointed out and some design mitigation techniques are also proposed based upon the existing standards and flight history. The ECSS standard for Space Environment is taken as a guideline for radiation predictions.
