Zero Gravity Tests of Satellite Shield
Loading...
Uploaded by StanfordUniversity on Nov 18, 2010
Stanford researchers have completed the first successful tests in zero gravity of a canopy for CubeSats -- the tiny satellites that hitch rides on rockets sending larger satellites into orbit. The goal is to gather data on what happens when micrometeoroids slam into a satellite. Such impacts often knock out electronic equipment on satellites. The encounters are poorly understood, but the canopies could be a first step in eventually building "black boxes" for satellites similar to airplane flight recorders.

They are so funny to look at. It's just like they are playing.

At MIT, they laughed at my dog-leash tractor beam, yet this guy gets to fly into zero G with a tape-measure satellite canopy? Guess I should have gone to Stanford...

Now that's a good idea!

@social3ngin33rin We're using the screen to study impacts of meteoroid impacts that are a microgram or smaller. Meteoroids that small may not puncture a spacecraft but we suspect that they can cause electrical damage.

awesome that they get to go into zero-g for free
how is that suppose to stop anything 1-3 meters lolol
hope they at least make it larger to counter that mass

Tape measures as spring outs. low budget is the best way to start, test and research
