Title: Micrometeoroid and orbital debris shield pillow for protecting flexible thin-walled structures from through-and-through penetration damage

Abstract

Segmented shields are disclosed comprising material combinations and rolled configurations to impede and mitigate through-and-through penetration damage of a structure incorporating the segmented shields from the damage resulting from the impact of high-velocity micro-meteoroids and orbital debris particulate.
