Micrometeoroid Protection

Micrometeoroid Protection is a spacecraft shielding methodology that specifically mitigates the risk of structural and system damage from hypervelocity impacts by micrometeoroids and orbital debris through the use of multi-layered barrier systems designed to disintegrate and disperse incident particles.
