Spacecraft in low earth orbit (LEO) experience a variety of hazards including exposure to micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD). Average impact speeds for orbital debris on spacecraft in LEO are 9 to 10 km/s, and 20 km/s for micrometeoroids. Due

The magnetorefractive effect is a change in a sample’s reflectivity with applied magentic field. This is caused by the material’s index of refraction’s sensitivity to magnetic fields. However, measurements of the index of refraction as a functi
