Space Radiation Superconductive Shield 
SR2S explores the feasibility of a superconducting magnetic shield to protect astronauts from long time exposure to Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) and Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) which are thought to cause a significant increase in the probability of various type of cancers. It also includes the development of some key abilitating technologies to be used to build such a spacecraft shield.
