| Popis: | The shielding of spacecraft and satellites from the impacts of space debris particles of millimeter size is an important problem in space industry and exploration. As a rule, these particles have irregular shapes; therefore, their impact leads to different consequences from the impact of spherical particles. The goal of our study was to reveal specific features in the hypervelocity impact of cubic impactors on thin metal and polymer plates (elements of multilayer spacecraft and satellite shielding, which is known as the “Whipple shield”). |
