  2. Abstract Results of the INTAS Project, which aims to improve the methods of safeguarding satellites in the Earth’s magnetosphere from the negative effects of the space environment, are presented. Anomaly data from the “Kosmos” series satellites in the period 1971–1999 are combined in one database, together with similar information on other spacecrafts. This database contains, beyond the anomaly information, various characteristics of the space weather: geomagnetic activity indices (Ap, AE and Dst), fluxes and fluencies of electrons and protons at different energies, high energy cosmic ray variations and other solar, interplanetary and solar wind data. A comparative analysis of the distribution of each of these parameters relative to satellite anomalies was carried out for the total number of anomalies (about 6000 events), and separately for high (5000 events) and low (about 800 events) altitude orbit satellites. No relation was found between low and high altitude satellite anomalies. Daily numbers of satellite anomalies, averaged by a superposed epoch method around sudden storm commencements and proton event onsets for high (>1500 km) and low (<1500 km) altitude orbits revealed a big difference in a behavior. Satellites were divided on several groups according to the orbital characteristics (altitude and inclination). The relation of satellite anomalies to the environmental parameters was found to be different for various orbits that should be taken into account under developing of the anomaly frequency models.

  3. Satellite anomaly data The main contribution was from NGDC satellite anomaly database, created by J. Allen and D. Wilkinson. + “Kosmos” data (circular orbit at 800 km altitude and 74º inclination) + 1994 year anomalies - Walter Thomas report (Thomas, 1995). + The satellites characteristics - from different Internet sources: http://spacescience.nasa.gov/missions/index.htm http://www.skyrocket.de/space/index2.htm http://hea-www.harvard.edu/QEDT/jcm/space/jsr/jsr.html http://www.astronautix.com/index.htm Japan, ICRC 2003
