Application prospects of multilayer film shields for space equipment protection against constant magnetic fields

摘要

Protection of scientific equipment aboard spacecrafts against both natural and artificial constant magnetic fields is an urgent problem. Multilayer film electromagnetic shields produced by electrodeposition showed high shielding efficiency during laboratory tests. To test their application prospects under conditions of real space flights, a "Nanomag" scintillation telescope was developed and fabricated. Laboratory tests which demonstrated its operability at magnetic field induction to 4 mT are presented in this paper.
