TSU will improve the protection of satellites

2019-03-12

A group of scientists from the TSU Research Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics has conducted a theoretical and experimental study of the interaction and methods of protecting elements of spacecraft from high-speed impactors. They have created methods and models to test the functional characteristics of new materials in an extreme environment under maximum load conditions.

Particles even of a small diameter (1–2 mm) pose a serious danger to the survivability of spacecraft. Moving at speeds above 5 km/s, they can penetrate the hull or disable the equipment.
