RESULTS:
The model can be defined one of three ways, by selecting an historic solar minimum/maximum, by entering specific dates, or by entering a fitting parameter. A comprehensive comparison of the various GCR models shown that the Matthia model was on par with the Badhwar-O'Neill 2010 model in terms of uncertainty for space radiation calculations. The Badhwar-O'Neill 2010 and 2004 models are also still available. The linear energy transfer (LET) response has been activated for all geometry and project types. It was previously only available for interpolation-based, thickness distribution jobs for free-space environments. Both the integral and differential flux/fluence versus LET is computed and the target material can be specified as either tissue or silicon.

A new atmosphere model has been added for Mars surface environments. The Mars Climate Database (MCD, http://www-mars.lmd.jussieu.fr/ ) is a database of atmospheric statistics compiled from state-of-the-art simulations of the Martian atmosphere. It is a much more refined model than MarsGRAM and takes into account the surface location (latitude and longitude), the Martian seasons (Solar longitude) and the time of day (Local solar time).

OLTARIS ( https://oltaris.nasa.gov/ ) currently has 223 active accounts. Eighty one accounts are government (including NASA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Federal Aviation Administration), eighty six are university professors/researchers/students, and fifty six are industry (including Boeing, Space X, Lockheed-Martin, Alliant Techsystems Inc., Northrup Grumman, and Bigelow Aerospace). There have been nearly 4000 jobs run through OLTARIS during the last reporting period and 14,500 since counting began in November 2009.
