Скачать или смотреть Protecting Spacecraft Against Orbital Debris - Starship Example

Every spacecraft or SpaceX Starship, especially in low-Earth orbit, can be potentially hit and destroyed by a micrometeoroid or orbital debris.
The speeds these objects travel are hard to fathom, so in this video, we look at the dangers resulting from the debris and develop ways of protecting from it by using Whipple Shield.
Furthermore, we look at how the Whipple shield is tested and learn how it is applied and evaluated based on the example of the International Space Station.
