Applications for superconducting magnets in space include particle astrophysics detectors, semiconductor crystal growth, magnetic refrigerators to reach temperatures of a few millikelvin and magnetic energy storage. Superconducting magnets are well suited for use in space because they consume very little power, and superconductors can operate at current densities which are much higher than conventional conductors. The general requirements are presented for superconducting magnets in space. The selection of a cryogenic working fluid and the selection of superconductor for space magnets are discussed. A 260 mm warm bore 3 T solenoid and the ASTROMAG particle astrophysics experiment solenoid for the space station are presented as examples of superconducting magnetic technology for use in space.
