论文摘要
在一个新的太空探索时代的曙光中,旨在将人类送回月球,并首次送回火星,有必要设计一种解决方案,以减轻太空辐射对航天器和宇航员的影响。尽管在技术上具有挑战性,但主动磁屏蔽通常被认为是有前途的解决方案。我们提出了一个轻巧的可部署系统,该系统在空间栖息地周围产生一个开放的磁场。我们的宇宙辐射延伸病房(CREW)系统由圆柱形的Halbach阵列线圈或Halbach Torus(HAT)组成。该配置在抑制栖息地体积的同时会产生增强的外部磁场。船员的帽子利用了高温超导体(例如Rebco)的最新创新,可实现所需的高电流。我们提出了磁性屏蔽系统及其可折叠机械结构的初步可行性设计,以维持内部磁力,同时保护宇航员。我们还将下一步迈进了进化和全面的设备设计。
At the dawn of a new space exploration age, aiming to send humans back to the Moon and for the first time to Mars, it is necessary to devise a solution to mitigate the impact that space radiation has on spacecraft and astronauts. Although technically challenging, active magnetic shielding is generally considered a promising solution. We propose a lightweight deployable system producing an open magnetic field around a space habitat. Our Cosmic Radiation Extended Warding (CREW) system consists of a cylindrical Halbach array coil arrangement, or Halbach Torus (HaT). This configuration generates an enhanced external magnetic field while suppressing it in the habitat volume. The CREW HaT takes advantage of recent innovations in high-temperature superconductors (e.g., ReBCO) that enables the needed high currents. We present a preliminary feasibility design of the magnetic shielding system and its collapsible mechanical structure to sustain the internal magnetic forces while protecting astronauts. We also lay down the next steps towards a more evolved and comprehensive device design.
