Solar illumination estimate...

Iv = phi*theta(rvp)*I0 * (r0^2)/(rv^2)

  • I0 = dose rate at sun surface
  • Iv = dose rate at vessel
  • r0 = sun radius
  • rv = vessel distance from sun
  • rvp = vessel distance from planet surface
  • theta = magnetosphere attenuation at vessel height
  • phi = solar visibility at part
