When completed in 2002, the International Space Station (ISS) will be the
largest man made object ever placed in low earth orbit. NASA has
determined that the expected number of on-orbit impacts is related
to the exposed area of a spacecraft and its mission time. Therefore, the 10 year
design life and the tremendous vehicle size of the ISS, combine to create a
challenging engineering problem for the team at the HITF.
