In recent years a new risk for Earth-orbiting spacecraft started to emerge: space debris. This term describes any man-made object in orbit around Earth that no longer has a useful purpose. The present work describes measurement techniques for assessing and reducing the risk posed by Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) to space vehicles. The main research areas are: • Impacts phenomenology, risk assessment methodology, and design methods; • Experimental methods (i.e. acceleration techniques and diagnostic instrumentation); • Engineering models (i.e. measurements of the effects of the MMOD and derivation of damage equations). Related to these areas, the objectives and personal contributions are presented regarding: • Hyp...
