4. Radiation environment models • Implementation of MAGNETOCOSMICS (Geant4) • Implementation of radiation belt models • POLE GEO electron model • SAMPEX/PET dynamic LEO proton model • Jovian radiation belts • Implementation of solar energetic proton models • MSU model (Nymmik) • ESP model for solar minimum (PSYCHIC) • Extend the energy range of the JPL model below 5MeV and above 100MeV • Upgrade of the orbit generator • implement new trajectory types: hyperbolic, parabolic, interplanetary, escape • modify other models and tools that use the orbit generator • introduce flags for coordinate systems

5. Sectoring analysis tool • Implementation of GDML output • Implementation of GRAS interface • Development of a sectoring tool interface • establish user requirements for the interface • identify existing freeware 3D tools for possible use • Outgassing and contamination tool

6. Spacecraft charging • Upgrade of the DICTAT tool: implementation of new version • Upgrade of the surface charging tool • implement the surface charging tool developed in the SPIGH project • implement links to material data bases • Implementation of the ESTEC ionosphere package

7. Radiation effects • Upgrade of the solar cell degradation package • Mathlab tool for generating RDCs • SAVANT code (NIEL method) • solar cell laboratory data (GADGET-2, Astrium RDCs) • Upgrade of radiation effects tools • implementation of electron NIEL • implementation of ONERA effective dose estimates • implementation of radiation damage to materials (glasses) • implementation of SEU tools for digital, analog and mixed signal devices • implementation of biological doses

8. Other • Upgrades of the data base tool • integrate new data bases • update solar wind and magnetic indices when available • investigate a migration to a relational (SQL) data base • Hosting of EDID (European Detector Impact Database) • online database for the interactive retrieval of impact data from the GORID and DEBIE-1 impact detectors • implement the system on a BIRA server • provide access to the data base interface • Interface with ECSS documents • Spacecraft charging • Radiation effects

9. Commercialisation • Analysis of SPENVIS user data base • analysis of existing users: usage modes, reason for selecting SPENVIS, user input on development requirements, terms of service exchange (e.g. with NASA management, users and model providers, ESA contractors) • analysis of SPENVIS market position w.r.t. rival services and products (market share, pricing policy, etc.) • market analysis to determine further distribution of SPENVIS • Development of SPENVIS business model • identification of business model criteria for trade-off analysis • identification of different business models and associated technical modifications • trade-off analysis and selection of a business model • Implementation of SPENVIS business model • specification of and implementation of support structures: maintenance support, release and upgrade structure, configuration control, identification of marketing and sales activities, ... • quality control of SPENVIS deliveries • recognition and support of common standards • exchange policy with model and data providers
