Gainesville, Florida, United States

- Collaboration between the University of Florida, NASA Orbital Debris Program, etc. to improve satellite breakup models using surviving fragments from a 56kg spacecraft hypervelocity impact test- Conducted 2,000+ extractions of fragments from low, medium, high-density foam panels- Manipulated large data sets to update projections of completion based on change in program requirements- Characterized fragments physical and optical properties using x-ray, 2-D, and 3-D imaging

Gainesville, Florida, United States

The project's goal is to design and fabricate a 56-kg class spacecraft mock-up (“DebriSat”) representative of modern payloads in the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment, conduct a hypervelocity impact test to catastrophically break it up, collect fragments as small as 2 millimeters in size, measure and characterize the fragment properties, and then use the data to improve space situational awareness and satellite breakup models
