NASA has just announced funding for several innovative projects for space exploration, including a proposal for a radiation shield for spacecraft and a robot that can climb the walls of Martian caves.
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, calls a “deployable magnetic shield device”. The CREW HaT system would consist of a ring of electrical coils positioned on arms roughly 5 metres from the spacecraft’s main body. When turned on, the system would form “an extended magnetic field outside the spacecraft that deflects the cosmic radiation”, says D’Onghia.
At some point, we may need to defend Earth against an asteroid or comet on a collision course. The Pi project will examine the idea of using a rocket-launched system to smash an interplanetary interloper with multiple small impactors. Such a system could potentially have elements sited on the moon, as well as Earth.
