The concept of active magnetic shielding is to use high-temperature superconducting coils to induce very high magnetic fields around a human spacecraft. The induced magnetic field will deflect incoming charged particles (solar particles and galactic cosmic rays), thereby reducing the particle flux and radiation dose to astronauts behind the shield.

The goal of this project is to create a...
