A system is configured to shield an interior chamber of a structure. The system may include a power source, an outer shield assembly operatively connected to the power source and coupled to an outer wall of the structure, and an inner shield assembly surrounding the internal chamber. The outer shield assembly generates a magnetic field through and around the structure. The inner shield assembly deflects radiation particles away from the interior chamber and re-directs portions of the magnetic field around the interior chamber.

1. A system for shielding an interior chamber of a structure, the system comprising: a power source;an outer shield assembly operatively connected to the power source and coupled to an outer wall of the structure, wherein the outer shield assembly generates a magnetic field through and around the structure; andan inner shield assembly surrounding the interior chamber, wherein the inner shield assembly deflects radiation particles away from the interior chamber and re-directs portions of the magnetic field around the interior chamber, wherein the inner shield assembly comprises: a first shield having first angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to a longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; and a second shield surrounding the first shield, wherein the second shield has second angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic field. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the outer shield assembly comprises a helical coil. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical coil wraps around an outer surface of the outer wall. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical coil is secured to an inner surface of the outer wall. 5. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical coil is embedded within the outer wall. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the inner shield assembly comprises one or more ferromagnetic sheets. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the outer shield assembly is configured to generate the magnetic field as a multipole magnetic field. 8. A method for shielding an interior chamber of a structure, the method comprising: coupling an outer shield assembly to an outer wall of the structure;enclosing the interior chamber of the structure with an inner shield assembly, wherein the enclosing operation comprises: enclosing the interior chamber with a first shield of the inner shield assembly, wherein the first shield has first angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to a longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; and surrounding the first shield with a second shield of the inner shield assembly, wherein the second shield has second angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic field;operatively connecting a power source to the outer shield assembly;applying power from the power source to the outer shield assembly to generate a magnetic field through and around the structure;deflecting radiation particles away from the interior chamber with the inner shield assembly; andre-directing portions of the magnetic field around the interior chamber with the inner shield assembly. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the coupling operation comprises wrapping the outer shield assembly around an outer surface of the outer wall. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the coupling operation comprises securing the outer shield assembly to an inner surface of the outer wall. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the coupling operation comprises embedding the outer shield assembly within the outer wall. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the inner shield assembly comprises one or more ferromagnetic sheets. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the applying power operation comprises generating the magnetic field as a multipole magnetic field. 14. A spacecraft comprising: a fuselage defining an interior chamber; anda shielding system that shields the interior chamber from radiation and exposure to magnetic fields, wherein the shielding system comprises: a power source;an outer shield assembly operatively connected to the power source and coupled to an outer wall of the structure, wherein the outer shield assembly generates a magnetic field through and around the structure; andan inner shield assembly surrounding the interior chamber, wherein the inner shield assembly deflects radiation particles away from the interior chamber and re-directs portions of the magnetic field around the interior chamber, wherein the inner shield assembly comprises: a first shield having first angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to a longitudinal axis of the magnetic field; and a second shield surrounding the first shield, wherein the second shield has second angled walls that are non-parallel and non-orthogonal with respect to the longitudinal axis of the magnetic field. 15. The spacecraft of claim 14, wherein the outer shield assembly comprises a helical coil that is one of embedded within, secured to an outer surface of the wall, or secured to an inner surface of the outer wall. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the inner shield assembly is disposed between the interior chamber and the outer shield assembly. 17. The method of claim 8, wherein the inner shield assembly is disposed between the interior chamber and the outer shield assembly. 18. The spacecraft of claim 14, wherein the inner shield assembly is disposed between the interior chamber and the outer shield assembly. 19. The spacecraft of claim 1, wherein the inner shield assembly further comprises one or both of a base or a ceiling having one or more portions that are parallel to or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. 20. The spacecraft of claim 14, wherein the inner shield assembly further comprises one or both of a base or a ceiling having one or more portions that are parallel to or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
