Performance analysis of fluid-core Whipple shields under hypervelocity impact at different projectile speeds

Whipple shields as sacrificial bumpers, safeguard the satellites against extremely fast, different-sized projectiles traveling through space in the low earth orbit. Typical Whipple shields comprise a front and rear plate, separated by a gap or space. Recent advancements have explored the use of foam...
