From page 45...
... flight rules require mission operators to base any concrete protective action on actual measurements of the radiation dose on ISS. The risk to ISS crews of exposure to excess radiation could be significantly reduced if other remote environmental measurements could be accurately applied to the ISS environment to provide advance warning of a developing radiation event.

From page 46...
... This entails subjecting scientific models and results to a linear process of validation and refinement; specifying and designing the user interface; developing m~ssionqualified software; and "backstepping" the process to make changes necessitated by problems with the science, the validation, or operational or customer requirements. The rapid prototyping process is a dynamic, circular process in which validation, user interfaces, customer products, and software testing are performed simultaneously in the user environment.

From page 47...
... Forecasts of particle energies at several steps between 10 and 100 MeV would be a significant improvement for space radiation use as well as for other users who operate satellites and systems in space.
