Abstract
This paper presents the observational results of space energetic parti cles obtained by the Cosmic Ray Composition Monitor (CRCM) onboard the Chinese satellite, Fungyun-1(B). These results, including those of a few solar proton events, the geomagnetically rapped particles and the anomalous cosmic ray components, were obtained from 3 September 1990 t o 15 February 1991. The observed elements include H, He, C, N, O and F e of energies from 4-23 MeV/n. It was found that the proton fluxes of the Inner Radiation Belt (IRB) increased obviously during the period o f solar proton event (SPE). A few kinds of heavy ions (Z greater-than- or-equal-to 6) were also detected in the IRB. As to the anomalous cosm ic ray component (ACRC), in addition to-C, N and O, anomalous iron par ticles were also recorded. Moreover, the effects of space particle rad iation on the satellite are analyzed.
