Abstract

To study spacecraft shield structure against hypervelocity impact of space debris and its protective performances, 25mm ballistic gun launching 12.7mm cylindrical debris is selected against Aluminum foam composite structure at high speed. Based on the experimental results and analyze the effects of Aluminum foam protective structure with different combinations, the result is that protective effects with Aluminum foam in front of glass fiber is better.
