  2. Radiation Environment Services • Intent of the session • What do we mean by Radiation Environment? • Customers • Aviation • Space Operations • Satellites • Current state of services • Data • Predictions, Warnings, and Alerts • State of modeling • Where do the gaps exist? • What are the true customer needs – radiation data or a derived product? • What can we do to close those gaps?
