Satellites provide us with many benefits from telecommunication, predicting the weather to protecting the environment. However, space is a harsh environment, and satellites are constantly bombarded by strong ionisingradiation. The cosmic and solar radiation in space 'fry' electronics which means only very special and 'hardened' electronics can be used, that are heavy, require a lot of power and as a result, are quite simplistic compared tosome electronics we enjoy on earth.We propose to analyse and evaluate the potential and compatibility of Space Talos Ltd. active radiation shielding solution with commercial off-the-shelf electronics, sensors, and photonics commonly used for robotics. Active radiation shielding traps plasma in an electromagnetic field, protecting the satellite. In particular, active radiation shielding will give easier access to orbits beyond low Earth orbits for small satellites where robotic applications such as satellites maintenance and mining are more significant.

卫星为我们提供了许多好处，从电信，预测天气到保护环境。然而，太空是一个恶劣的环境，卫星不断受到强电离辐射的轰击。太空中的宇宙辐射和太阳辐射“油炸”电子产品，这意味着只能使用非常特殊和“硬化”的电子产品，这些电子产品很重，需要大量的电力，因此，与我们在地球上享受的一些电子产品相比，它们非常简单。我们建议分析和评估Space Talos有限公司主动辐射屏蔽解决方案的潜力和兼容性。以及常用于机器人技术的光子学。主动辐射屏蔽将等离子体捕获在电磁场中，保护卫星。特别是，主动辐射屏蔽将使小型卫星更容易进入低地球轨道以外的轨道，在这些轨道上，卫星维护和采矿等机器人应用更为重要。
