   I realize that all spacecraft require some degree of radiation hardening,   
   but within reasonable limits, what are the altitude ranges that might be   
   recommended for earth satellites for equatorial orbit? I understand that   
   there are two particularly intense belts of radiation; at what altitudes   
   might they best be avoided?
