A spacecraft radiation shield system (2) is disclosed for improving the protection from ionising radiation from the external environment and providing an improved freedom of orientation to the spacecraft. The spacecraft radiation shield system includes: at least two magnets arranged in a magnetic multipole (6), a magnetometer (14), and an adjustable magnet (10). The magnetometer (14) is configured to measure the magnetic field experienced at the spacecraft, and the magnetic field orientation of the adjustable magnet (10) is controlled in response to the measured magnetic field thereby controlling the direction and magnitude of the overall dipole moment of the system
