Abstract : We present a model which predicts the interstellar radiation field (ISRF) in UV (912 \AA - 3000 \AA) within a few hundred parsecs of the Sun using Hipparcos stellar catalog. Our model predicts well the observations of Thor-Delta 1A (TD-1A) satellite which has observed the sky in four UV passbands. However, we find the ISRF for certain patches of the sky obtained from our model to be higher by a few factors with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observations. Implementation of the GAIA catalog into our model results in a good correlation between model-generated ISRF and the GALEX observations.
