RISOn Protection of Freedom’s Solar Dynamic Radiator From the Orbital Debris Environment: Part I—Preliminary Analysis and Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A great deal of experimentation and analysis has been performed to quantify penetration thresholds of components which will experience orbital debris impacts. Penetration has been found to depend ...
On Protection of Freedom’s Solar Dynamic Radiator From the Orbital Debris Environment: Part II—Further Testing and Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent progress to better understand the environmental threat of micrometeoroid and space debris to the solar dynamic radiator for the Space Station Freedom power system is reported. The objective ...
Hypervelocity Impact Performance of Biopolymer-Bound Soil Composites for Space Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Establishing a lunar base requires the design and construction of infrastructure that can withstand the Moon’s hazardous environment. This study explores the effects of micrometeoroid impacts on a biopolymer-bound soil ...
