The reason for using the multifilament design is to make the tethers more resistant to micrometeoroid bombardment. |
We have also provided dynamic analysis, orbital mechanics, micrometeoroid damage assessment, and control system designs. |
The suit consists of a seven-layer thermal micrometeoroid garment that protects the astronaut from micrometeoroids. |
Next comes the pressure bladder layer followed by a seven-layer thermal micrometeoroid garment. |
The next seven layers form the thermal micrometeoroid garment. |
It also carried detectors to measure the density of high-speed micrometeoroid particles of space dust in the Earth's upper atmosphere. |
