EURECA MLI Reports
Appendix A3: Cumulative impact flux on EURECA
Appendix A3 Table: Cumulative impact flux on EURECA.
Data used for flux calculations*:
Time in orbit = 46 weeks and 4 days (28166400 s).
Total blanket area scanned = 29.34 m2.
Face | +X | +Y | +Z | -X | -Y | -Z | Total |
Area * (m2) | 5.78 | 3.40 | 6.64 | 6.12 | 4.40 | 3.00 | 29.34 |
No. impacts | 11 | 5 | 6 | 16.5 | 17.5 | 1 | 57 |
* Data for area taken from UniSpace, Kent et al. (1994).
Where the position of an impact feature was given as a combination of faces (Appendix A2), the number of impacts was divided evenly between the faces in question.
Several impact features were on blankets from unassigned locations.
