UTILIZATION OF AN ENHANCED ARTIFICIAL MAGNETOSPHERE FOR SHIELDING AGAINST SPACE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
First Claim
1. A method of providing a spacecraft with an enhanced artificial magnetosphere or electromagnetic shield, which comprises providing the spacecraft with an Interference Generating Pattern (IGP) which is tuned to high-frequency radiation of X-rays and gamma rays, and embedding electrical current conductors in or near an outer surface of the spacecraft, thus creating an artificial Magnetosphere (AMS) to shield against dangers due to a variety of energetic particles prevalent in outer space.

Abstract
This invention relates to technology used for creating an enhanced artificial magnetosphere or electromagnetic shield for use in both manned and unmanned spacecraft. The invention includes an Interference Generating Pattern (IGP) which is tuned to the high-frequency radiation of X-rays and gamma rays and a conformal magnetic field. This technology will reduce the exposure of astronauts or other space travelers, as well as radiation-sensitive equipment, to the environmental hazards present therein. The net result will be reduced radiation intensity in order to create a space radiation-free environment as to render space travel safe.
