TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
New generations of superconductors can be used in space efficiently to protect satellites from cosmic rays which cause satellite failure and shortened orbital life. Such magnetic shields are durable and cheap: low weight, no moving parts, and powered when needed by the cosmic rays themselves.
