Ryan, Conor (author)Spacecraft are under constant threat from hypervelocity impacts by micrometeoroids and space debris. Due to their large surface area and hence increased probability of being impacted by debris, solar arrays are of particular concern. For larger, trackable debris objects, collision avoidance manoeuvres can be performed so as the minimise the...master thesis 2022

Verheijen, Bob (author)Spacecraft are under constant threat of structural damage from hypervelocity impacts by micrometeoroids and orbital debris. To bolster the shielding used for protection against these impacts, ballistic materials can be employed. Aramid-based materials are currently used aboard the International Space Station (ISS), but Ultra High Molecular...master thesis 2017
