is 10 or 12 degrees, although the exact size can differ and depends on the many factors.

SAA

(South Atlantic Anomaly)
The SAA is a region of the sky over the southern part of the Atlantic ocean that contains a lot of charged particle activity.
Both the LAT and the GBM detect charged particles as part of the background, so when the spacecraft enters the SAA,
the detectors are turned off (data is not stored).
The LAT and GBM have slightly different definitions of the borders of the SAA.
