A system to create a magnetic field or fields around the outside of a spacecraft to provide protection from cosmic and solar radiation. Electromagnets are placed within one or more layers of the outer shell or surface of a spacecraft and are used to generate magnetic fields. Side electromagnets are placed within one or more of the side layers of the outer shell or surface of the spacecraft and separate configurations of electromagnets are positioned within one or more layers of the outer shell or surface of the spacecraft, in a cross shaped configuration, either Quadrupole electromagnet configuration or two right-angled electromagnet configuration, at the front and rear of the spacecraft in geometric alignment with the opposite poled side positioned electromagnets. Magnetic field lines are channeled around the outside of the spacecraft by use of the right-angled electromagnet configuration or centered on the center of the quadrupole electromagnet configuration.
