The first solar energetic particle event during the current solar cycle 25 observed on ground, i.e. GLE#73, was detected on 28 October 2021 by a few neutron monitors of the worldwide network. Although GLE#73 showed only a small, gradual increase in the cosmic ray intensity near Earth, the Athens GLE Alert system issued successfully an automatic alert at 16:09 UT.
We present the outcome of our GLE analysis of this SEP event based on neutron monitor data and assess the additional radiation doses that may be acquired at different locations at a typical flight altitude. In addition, we compare our results with the findings published by Mishev et al., 2022.
