A shield assembly for protection of vehicles traveling in space consisting of at least five layers that would replace the thin metal impact shield in Whipple shields fabricated using the current art that employs only a single metal. All of the layers in the present invention are metallic. At least three different metals must be used in this invention. FIG. 1 shows the basic embodiment of the transparent blast protection assembly. The shield assembly (10) comprises a first metal layer (20), a second metal layer (30), a third metal foam layer (40), a fourth metal layer (50), and a fifth metal layer (60). At least one spacer component (70) is used to create and maintain a space between the structure requiring impact protection (80) and the shield assembly.
