SCREEN FOR SPACECRAFT PROTECTION FROM HIGH SPEED IMPACT ACTIONS OF THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT PARTICLES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/56 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the spacecraft security measures (SM) from the high speed impact actions of space environment particles. The screen contains the honeycomb structure made of the corrugated metal mesh. The mesh corrugations are arranged parallel with a pitch in 2-3 times more than the mesh wire thickness. The height of the corrugations in 3-5 times increases the minimum characteristic size of the particles colliding with the spacecraft. The screen might be double layered with the second layer corrugations oriented perpendicular to the corrugations of the first layer.

EFFECT: increase of the spacecraft protection efficiency from the high speed particles by increasing the fragmentation degree of the particles without increasing the screen weight.
