// TERRAFORMING 03 — RADIATION & MAGNETOSPHERE
SpaceROADMAP
A roof against the sky.
Shielding inhabitants from radiation — printed regolith mass shielding at the structure scale today, and research into an artificial magnetosphere (an L1 magnetic dipole) at the planetary scale.
- Regolith
- Mass shielding — deployable now
- L1 dipole
- Planetary shield concept under study
- Multi-decade
- Horizon for the global case
// WHERE THE LINE IS
Mass shielding at the structure scale is deployable today. A planetary magnetic shield is research.
Horizon: Multi-decade
Two scales, one honest line
At the structure scale, printed regolith overburden is a solved, deployable answer to radiation and micrometeorites. At the planetary scale, a magnetic shield stationed at the Sun–Mars L1 point is a serious but unproven concept. We hold both, and we keep the line between them visible.
Research the upper ladder. Deploy the lower one.
