Zusammenfassung:The meteoroid environment and the effects of hypervelocity impact on a space vehicles are described, and the effects of the incompleteness of present knowledge of each are discussed. The overall problem of the meteoroid hazard is evaluated and methods of eliminating the probability of meteoroid damage are given. A partial listing of typical research projects on meteoroid-environment and hypervelocity-impact problems is presented.
