I've been trying to find figures for the total ionising dose and potential for single event upsets for spacecraft operations but I've ran into a bit of a brick wall. It seems like there is ample information regarding manned missions but very little 'raw' information (the manned mission information details the total dose received by the astronaut who will inevitably be protected by the spacecraft to some degree. Am I missing some source of data on this topic? Can anyone suggest a place to look or a paper to gain access to?

$\begingroup$ You mean radiation flux density in LEO? If that, then for an overview see e.g. Space Radiation Effects On Electronic Components In Low-Earth Orbit (PDF) or The Radiation Environment in Low-Earth Orbit but there's lots of documents on the topic over at NTRS, say Differential neutron energy spectra measured on spacecraft low Earth orbit,... $\endgroup$– TildalWaveNov 16, 2015 at 17:26

$\begingroup$ @tidalwave I've managed to pull all the information I needed from one of the PDFS you linked to. I'm happy to mark it as an answer if you make it so; but for other users maybe summarise to 100 - 10,000 rad/year total ionising dose and 10E-5 errors/bit-day for commercial hardware. $\endgroup$– ThePlanManNov 16, 2015 at 19:42

You can run your own CREME96 models. As for information, there is a ton of it at that site, or just search on CREME96.
