Plasma shielding is a technology that uses ionized gas, or plasma, to protect spacecraft and other objects from harmful radiation and debris in space. By creating a barrier of plasma, it can absorb and deflect high-energy particles, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive equipment and human occupants. This method is particularly useful for long-duration space missions, such as those involving Mars exploration or deep space travel. Plasma shielding can enhance safety and efficiency, making it a promising area of research for future space exploration technologies.
