High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields, from space exploration to
additive manufacturing, and can be used to help understand the physical and chemical …

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other space organizations
are preparing for new space exploration and habitation initiatives. These include human …

Hypervelocity impacts pose a risk to spacecraft electronics due to their creation of a plasma
and possible electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Experiments were performed at the NASA Ames …

Hypervelocity particles, such as meteoroids and space debris, routinely impact spacecraft
and are energetic enough to vaporize and ionize themselves and as well as a portion of the …

Previous theoretical and computational studies on hypervelocity impact have mainly focused
on the dynamic response of the solid materials that constitute the projectile and the target …

We analyze waveforms recorded by the Time Domain Sampler of the WAVES experiment on
Wind which are similar to impulsive waveforms observed by the S/WAVES experiment on …

We describe laboratory experiments which reproduce characteristic signals observed on
spacecraft, believed to be caused by dust impact. A simulated spacecraft, including an …

Abstract Space debris and meteoroids are proved to have serious mechanical and
electromagnetic coupling damage effects on the safety of spacecraft. The co-existence of …

Electric field antennas are capable of detecting dust impacts in different space environment.
We analyze the dust impact signals detected by the Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave …

Abstract Hypervelocity microparticles (< 1 µg), traveling at speeds between 11 and 72 km/s
with respect to the Earth, can impact spacecraft and form a small (∼ 1 µm) and dense (∼ 10 …
