Hypervelocity Impact Society的动态

Next in our series of classic hypervelocity impact images. This one shows the impact crater in a monolithic aluminum alloy block created by a 1.2 cm diameter aluminium sphere impacting at 6.8 km/s normal to the target surface. A nominally identical projectile is shown sitting in the bottom of the crater for scale. The test was performed on a two-stage light gas gun at Fraunhofer EMI. The image is one regularly used by the European Space Agency - ESA to highlight the risk of debris impacts. #engineering #spacedebris #orbitaldebris #hypervelocity #impact

A mistake referencing ESA instead of Fraunhofer EMI I did myself as well! ?? In any case, it brings very nice memories of my proof-of-concept simulations some years ago, thanks for posting!
