This study mainly focused on the interaction of cosmic radiation with the different layers of the Earth’s atmosphere in order to find a relationship between both. Is represented by satellite Proba-V and International Space Station data as well as own data measured with the Minipix on the Earth’s Surface. All data is analysed with various scripts from Octave making radiation images, counting pixels occupancy as well as equalling the total energy. The results from this research affirm there is a relation between space radiation and the atmosphere. Because of the cosmic ray cascades the amount of radiation in the thermosphere is more than in the exosphere but when it’s descending from the thermosphere it goes down. The amount of radiation on the Earth’s surface is very little
