Shuttle Hypervelocity Impact Database

摘要: With three flights remaining on the manifest, shuttle impact hypervelocity database has over 2800 entries. The data is currently divided into tables for crew module windows, payload bay door radiators and thermal protection system regions, with window impacts compromising just half records. In general, provides dimensions of damage, a component level location (i.e., number or radiator panel number) orbiter mission when occurred. Additional detail type particle that produced damage site provided sampling definitive analysis results are available. paper will provide details insights contents including examples descriptive statistics using data. A discussion post flight inspection techniques were employed during different observation campaigns be presented. Future work to discussed possible enhancements structure availability other researchers. related ISS returned surfaces under development also introduced.
