Investigations of Hypervelocity Impact Physics

Spacecraft and satellites in orbit are under an increasing threat of impact from orbital debris and naturally occurring meteoroids. While objects larger than 10 cm are routinely tracked and avoided, collisions inevitably occur with smaller objects at relative velocities exceeding 10 km/s. Such hyper...
