Dust detection is an important area of research, especially for determining the space
environment in Earth orbit. Satellites such as the GPS constellation are vital for millions of …

Spacecraft traveling to nearby stars will experience energetic collisions with interstellar dust
grains. For thin structures, such as light sails, grains pass through with little damage. For …

Transient clouds of a plasma generated by hypervelocity dust particles impacting onto the
spacecraft were observed in-situ by many experiments over the last 20 years. The reported …

Abstract Spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) encounter substantial fluxes of natural micro-
meteoroids and spacecraft-generated space debris. The consequences of these impacts …

Hypervelocity impacts of micrometeoroid and space debris particles can produce a highly
transient plasma cloud that shows a spectrum of distinct electrical phenomena ranging from …

When a fast dust particle hits a spacecraft, it generates a cloud of plasma some of which
escapes into space and the momentary charge imbalance perturbs the spacecraft voltage …
