The inventions functionality is that spacecraft which must traverse the Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts may match orbits with and dock inside the enclosure during such transits. After passing through the zones of highest radiation the spacecraft may emerge from the protective orbital shield and commence any further maneuvers. The enclosure deploys on orbit after launch from the Earth using centrifugal force.
