Abstract
We investigated the effect of hypervelocity impacts of micrometeoroids and small-scale orbital space debris (M/OD) on space structures by comparing numerical simulation results obtained using the AUTODYN-3D hydrocode with the results of experiments using a two-stage light gas gun. We compared numerical simulations with experimental results and investigated the response of a Wire Probe anTenna (WPT) wire subjected to high-velocity impacts. We show the response of the WPT wire hypervelocity impacts from 2 km/s up to 15 km/s. We also verified the Ballistic limit curve of WPT wire is shown the downside line.
