Abstract: The present application is the first pragmatic process capable of shielding spacecraft and occupants from destructive impact and penetration of the crafts' exterior walls by positively charged particles of cosmic rays and solar wind. The technology also protects the craft from internal cascading secondary radiation caused by energetic particles that strike the surface and those that penetrate to the interior. Particles posing the highest level of danger to spacecraft are low and high energy protons, positive ions and few-particle nuclei. Accordingly, a reliable, enduring and safe shielding mechanism for spacecraft has not been available until the development of the present application. The shielding is accomplished by conveying a positive electric charge to the atoms and molecules of the exterior surface. Incoming particles are diverted and deflected from the surface by an established electric field derived through an advanced electric system that utilizes electrons emitted by solar wind as electric energy.
