DEVICE FOR MICROMETEOROIDS FLOWS AND SPACE DEBRIS PARTICLES INVESTIGATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/68 G01T1/34 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space instrument-making and concerns device for analysis of flows of micrometeoroids and space debris particles. Device includes target, fastening disc, laser, CCD matrix, inching motor, disc motor, light-emitting diode, photodiode, control unit, position unit, lens, separation and an optical prisms. Target represents four optical discs, arranged on fastening disc, which is connected to light-emitting diode and inching motor. Inching motor is connected to control unit, which is connected with disc motor, photodiode and CCD matrix. Information reading system includes CCD matrix and laser, which is optically connected to position unit, separating prism, CCD matrix, lens and optical prism.

EFFECT: technical result consists in providing possibility of determining size of craters on target and possibility to use optically opaque materials as target.
