In September 2018, a photographic survey of the outer surface of the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS) with emphasis on the forward facing areas was conducted to obtain information on the space debris and meteoroid environment at the ISS orbit. Video footage from the camera installed at the tip latching end effector (LEE) of the robotic arm (space station remote...

16. Still going strong – ESA’s in-situ space debris and micrometeoroid impact detectors and the European Debris Impact Database (EDID)

Small space debris objects and micrometeoroid particulates (collectively called microparticles) pose a significant threat to the safe operations of satellites and other space systems in Earth orbit. Depending on particle’s size, speed, and impact angle, hypervelocity particle impacts can degrade surfaces, puncture outer walls, damage internal components, and in the worst case lead to the...

14. The Orbital Dust Impact Experiment

Aishling Dignam (University of Kent)

The Orbiting Dust Impact Experiment (ODIE) is a dedicated, retrievable, passive dust collector, designed to be placed on, for example, the outside of the International Space Station to facilitate the investigation of the flux and origin (orbital debris OD vs micrometeoroid MM), of dust particles in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). ODIE is comprised of multiple layers of polymer foils that act in much...
