A system to create a magnetic field around the outside of a spacecraft to afford human occupants and electronic equipment with protection from cosmic and solar radiation. Using electromagnets to generate magnetic fields placed on the outer surface of the spacecraft, cosmic and solar radiation may be deflected from entering the main body of the spacecraft. In addition, the magnetic field lines are kept away from the human occupants and interior electronic equipment. Side electromagnets are placed on the side outer surface of the spacecraft and separate electromagnetics are positioned in a cross shaped configuration at the front and rear of the spacecraft in alignment with the side electromagnets. Magnetic field lines are channeled around the outside of the spacecraft or centered on the center of quadrupole magnets placed either at the front of rear of the spacecraft.
A system for creating a magnetic field around a spacecraft, comprising:
The system of claim 16, wherein the side electromagnets can be projected out from or retracted into the body of the spacecraft.
A system for creating a magnetic field around a spacecraft, comprising:
Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a system for creating a magnetic field around a spacecraft, comprising:
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
