Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Satellite anomaly data in the period 1971–1994 were analyzed in the search of possible influence of different space environmental parameters. The database was created by combining, beyond the malfunction information, various characteristics of space weather: geomagnetic activity indices, fluxes and fluences of electrons and protons at different energy, high energy cosmic ray variations, solar wind characteristics and other solar, interplanetary and geophysical data. Satellites were divided on several groups according to the orbital characteristics (altitude and inclination). It was found, that the relation of satellite malfunctions to the environmental parameters is different for various orbits. This fact should be taken into account for the developing of malfunction frequency models.
