The Van Allen radiation belt is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, which is held in place by Earth's magnetic field.
This belt is one of the main reasons for soviets to abandon their manned moon mission during the cold war.
A SPACE VEHICLE requires at-least 6 feet of lead shielding to protect the crew from intense radiation
some satellites have to shut down its sensors when passing thru this belt
The belts are a hazard for artificial satellites and also difficult and expensive to shield against.
