The SPIRIT (a superconducting passive iron isotope telescope) experiment which requires a large volume of 2T field in order to achieve enough resolution to study heavy primary cosmic rays is discussed. It is proposed that the SPIRIT superconducting magnet system and its experimental package would be used in one of the space shuttles. The superconducting magnet design, based on thin high current density solenoid technology, is described. The superconducting magnet system consists of a number of coils which generate a 2T induction within the experiment, and at the same time allow free access to the package by cosmic rays. The superconducting magnet system uses a high current density conductor which is protected by a shorted secondary circuit. The magnet coils are to be cooled by pumped two phase helium which is circulated through tubes. Refrigeration is supplied from a large liquid helium dewar.
