Abstract
The temperature of spacecraft and satellites in low Earth orbit varies from approximately -150°C to 200°C. In this study, we investigated the influence of temperature on ejecta composition and crater formation in thick aluminum alloy targets for an impact velocity of 2 km/s, using a two-stage light-gas gun. The size distribution of ejecta collected from the test chamber were examined in detail.
