Summary
A spacecraft with a Halback array for a shield. A Halback array is a sequence of magnets each rotated by 90 degrees from the previous, so that their fields add on one side and cancel on the other. By making the field cancel in the interior of the Halback ring, the habitation module can be kept relatively field-free. The magnetic fields are shown in magenta and the current loops in green.
