Radiation shielding encompasses the design and manufacture of passive and active protection structures that attenuate ionising radiation — including gamma rays, X-rays, protons, and heavy ions — in spacecraft and aircraft applications, employing materials such as polyethylene, aluminium alloy, tantalum, and lead composites alongside multi-layer graded-Z configurations to minimise secondary particle generation and total ionising dose (TID) effects.
