AbstractIn the last 40 years, the increased space activity created a new form of space environment of hypervelocity objects—space debris—that have no functional use. The space debris, together with naturally occurring ultrahigh velocity meteoroids, presents a significant hazard to spacecraft. Collision with space debris or meteoroids might result in disfunction of external units such as solar cells, affecting materials properties, contaminating optical devices, or destroying satellites. The collision normally results in the formation of additional debris, increasing the hazard for future missions. The hypervelocity debris effect is studied by retrieving materials from space or by using ground simulation facilities. Simulation facilities, which include the light gas gun and Laser Driven Flyer methods, are used for studying the materials degradation due to debris impact. The impact effect could be accelerated when occurring simultaneously with other space environment components, such as atomic oxygen, ultraviolet, or x-ray radiation. Understanding the degradation mechanism might help in developing materials that will withstand the increasing hazard from the space debris, allowing for longer space missions. The large increase in space debris population and the associated risk to space activity requires significant measures to mitigate this hazard. Most current efforts are being devoted to prevention of collisions by keeping track of the larger debris and avoiding formation of new debris.

The present paper summarizes the results obtained from impacts on shielded pressure vessels and analyzes the conditions under which bursting of a shielded pressure vessels occur that are damaged by space debris. The semianalytical model was generated to describe the processes occurring upon impact of a hypervelocity projectile into a shielded vessel. A model capable to describe the failure mechanisms of damaged vessels is suggested. Nonlinear fracture mechanics techniques were used to analyze and predict whether a vessel perforation will lead to mere leakage of gas, or whether unstable crack propagation will occur that leads to catastrophic fracture of the vessel. The validity of the developed model is tested by simulating the experimental results.
