Abstract. The radiation data collected by the Standard Radiation Environment Monitor (SREM) aboard ESA missions INTEGRAl, ROSETTA, HERSCHEL, PLANCK and PROBA-1, and by the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) instrument aboard Mars Odyssey are analysed with an emphasis on characterising Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) in the inner heliosphere. A cross-calibration between all sensors was performed for this study, which can also be used in subsequent works. We investigate the stability of the SREM detectors over long-term periods. The radiation data is compared qualitatively and quantitatively with the corresponding solar activity. Based on INTEGRAL and Rosetta SREM data, a GCR helioradial gradient of 2.96 %/AU is found between 1 and 4.5 AU. In addition, the data during the last phase of the Rosetta mission around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were studied in more detail. An unexpected and yet unexplained 8 % reduction of the Galactic Comic Ray flux measured by Rosetta SREM in the vicinity of the comet is noted.
