Abstract:
The problem of protection of space vehicles acquires large importance in connection with increased duration of flights and increase of probability of their collision with natural and mancaused debris. The conducted numerical modeling and experimental determination of the limiting resistance of constructional elements of the Spectr-UF space vehicle was used for improvement of antimeteorite protection of space vehicles, as well as protection against space debris.
Keywords:numerical modeling, high-speed impact, space vehicle, destruction, light-gas gun.
