Abstract

The ceramic coating single bumper and dual-wall bumper shield were designed by improving on Al-Whipple shield and a series of high-velocity impact tests were practiced with a two-stage light gas gun facility. The diameter of projectiles used to simulate space debris were 3.97mm and 6.35mm respectively. Impact velocities of Al-spheres were varied between 1.64km/s and 4.96km/s. The effects of ceramic coating on the damage and protection performance of shield were analyzed. The results indicated that the ceramic coating on surface of bumper broadened the impact velocity spectrum in which the single-wall bumper shield was safe. The Al-mesh stuffed shield with the first bumper of ceramic coating surface can help in primary fragment of projectile and subsequent absorption of kinetic energy of debris cloud.
