The discovery of Earth's radiation belts in 1957 fundamentally changed everyone's perspectives of Earth's space environment and the radiation effects on systems that would fly within it. The principal concern of spacecraft designers, builders, and operators over the last 40-odd years has been to design systems that could be as immune as possible to the radiation encountered.
