Micrometeoroids blast the particles off the moon, and the particles then form a haze of ice and dust around Enceladus. And traveling along its path are micrometeoroids (particles including rocks and human space trash like paint chips, nuts, and bolts). This hybrid material is designed to provide a new technology (patent pending) to sense penetration of a spacecraft, such as the hull of a module on the International Space Station, by micrometeoroids and orbital debris. |
