Summary

This paper investigates the impact performance of lunar regolith simulant-derived panels for protecting lunar structures from micrometeoroid strikes. The study evaluates Whipple shields, stuffed Whipple shields, and multi-shock shields using regolith-resin-composite (RRC) plates and regolith infill. The results provide insights into in-situ resource utilization and future experimental testing.

This paper investigates the behavior of lunar regolith simulant-derived panels under micrometeoroid impacts. The study focuses on perforation, failure mechanisms, and debris characterization. Simulant-derived panels are tested for structural integrity and damage assessment. The research contributes to the design of lunar structures
