The standard AP8 and AE8 models for predicting trapped
proton and electron environments have been compared with
several sets of flight data to evaluate model uncertainties.
Model comparisons are made with flux and dose measurements
made on various U.S. low-Earth orbit satellites (APEX, CRESS,
DMSP, LDEF, NOAA) and Space Shuttle flights, on Russian
satellites (Photon-8, Cosmos-1887, Cosmos-2044), and on the
Russian Mir Space Station. In addition to model-data
comparisons, the standard AP8 and AE8 models have been
compared with the European Space Agency versions of AP8 and
AE8 and with Russian trapped radiation models.
