Radiation-Induced Backgrounds in Astronomical Instruments: Considerations for Geo-synchronous Orbit and Implications for the Design of the WFIRST Wide-Field Instrument

Jeffrey W. Kruk, Michael A. Xapsos, Nerses Armani +2

Geo-Synchronous orbits are appealing for Solar or astrophysical observatories because they permit continuous data downlink at high rates. The radiation environment in these orbits…
