Manned astronautics in deep space is impossible without reliable protection from solar
and galactic radiation. We consider the types of radiation found in interplanetary space.
We arrive at the conclusion that protection from high-energy charged particles is highly
relevant; we then describe the shielding methods available. We suggest an optimum, the
most lightweight, type of protection, in the form of an electrostatic shield that is also ca-
pable of protecting the spacecraft from small meteoroid particles.
Keywords: space radiation, charged particles, high energy, meteoroid hazard, magnetic
shielding, electrostatic shielding.
