Description

A Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MOD) impact detection system would allow remote identification of outer hull impact locations and the damage levels expected from MOD impact events while integrating into existing spacecraft MOD protection methods. Optical fibers are woven into Kevlar to create a smart fabric capable of detecting the damage area created by the debris plume resulting from an impact on the bumper shield by a MOD particle.
