Fragmentation of Millimeter-Size Hypervelocity Projectiles on Combined Mesh-Plate Bumpers
This numerical study evaluates the concept of a combined mesh-plate bumper as a shielding system protecting unmanned spacecraft from small (1 mm) orbital debris impacts. Two-component bumpers consisting of an external layer of woven mesh (aluminum or steel) directly applied to a surface of the alumi...
