ABSTRACT: Missions flying to giant planets frequently
provide telemetry data after substantial time lag. Determination of crucial
environmental characteristic sometimes detrimental for the mission health may
be further delayed by duration of subsequent data analysis. We propose a fast
method used in-flight to assess the electron total ionizing dose and dose rate
onboard of the JUICE ESA mission to JUPITER. The procedure provides estimated
values of dose rate behind various thickness of shielding using counting rates
from the electron telescope EHD of the RADEM radiation hard electron monitor
instrument onboard JUICE.
