Spacecraft Shielding

Traditional methods for protecting spacecraft and occupants from harmful radiation in the form of energetic particles from solar and galatic sources involve some configuration of a massive material shield to absorb the energy of incoming particles. Designing a magnetic shield that is strong enough to deflect GCR particles but weak enough to not harm astronauts is a challenge. Investigating possible solutions involves a combination of electromagnetic theory, numerical analysis, engineering practicality, and an astronaut’s sense of exploration.

By using advanced numerical simulation tools and methods we can predict, design and re-design systems to most optimized configuration to protect spacecraft from spacecraft-plasma interactions and electromagnetic waves harmful effects. We can investigate orbital debris impact with advanced finite element tools such as ansys ls-dyna and abaqus for any probabilistic impact problem, also.
