We won't bump into another plane.

Go ahead Is this a collision course I'm flying?

During the course of shuttle missions, orbiters have been required to execute collision avoidance manoeuvres in order to avoid catastrophic collisions with these large debris objects.

Every so often those particles will be aimed at each other, so there's a head on collision.

I flew out in front of the car, and then he ran over my legs.

the curtains rustling, or a moth or fly beating against the windowpane.

Nineteen members of Al Queda plotting to fly planes into buildings constitutes a conspiracy.

It arrived like a speeding bird smashing into a windowpane.

Since 1986, the Shuttle has manoeuvred three times for collision avoidance.

The different impact geometry is also reflected in the encounter direction azimuth angles (measured in the horizontal plane from the direction of flight) are narrowed down to 30 50 (see figure 3).

The software predicts that for the majority of Shuttle flights between 0 and 2 windows will need replacing as a result of debris impact.

provided a large surface area of exposed surface which could be examined for impact sites. Through the application of empirical impact formulae relating the material characteristics of both impactors and spacecraft surfaces and the impactor speed and incidence to these surfaces to impact features, it was possible to infer the encountered micro debris environment by counting, measuring and chemically analysing the residue observed in impact sitesW.

The orbiter has experienced a significant number of impacts, with on average one window being replaced in every flight.

During the course of shuttle missions, orbiters have executed collision avoidance manoeuvres in order to avoid catastrophic collisions with these large debris objects.

In the case of the capture spiral, it needs to be so stretchy to absorb the impact of flying prey.

If I start the little game here that the kids have done, it'll crash the space ship.

There are these giant rocks flying out there, and they're hitting us, and they're doing damage to us, but we've figured out how to do this, and all the pieces are in place to do this.

(iv) The pre flight mission analysis must make it possible to guarantee, with a probability higher than 1.10 4, that there will be no collision between objects in orbit.

NASA uses an acceptable risk criterion of 1 in 100,000 to consider a collision avoidance manoeuvre for the United States Space Shuttle missions.

Hit him. Hit him!

During the period 1986 1997, the United States Space Shuttle executed four such evasive manoeuvres.

during which the room was filled with the sound of a moth... or the buzz of a fly beating against the windowpane, which you only remembered afterwards.

the Earth stopped spinning on its axis, continents toppled over one another, mountains flew into space, and the Earth shriveled to a cinder, crashed into the sun.

For space objects in LEO reaching end of mission, each vehicle should be deorbited or placed in a reduced lifetime orbit to reduce the possibility of an accidental collision.

High velocity impacts by particles as small as 1 mm in diameter can lead to loss of functions and mission failure.

Instead of forming that, he'll knock this other blue guy off, and then he'll be over here.

A Navy flier, he shot down 15 planes, two of them as they were about to crash into a transport full of soldiers.

High velocity impacts by particles as small as 1 mm in diameter can lead to loss of functions and potentially mission failure.

Would your head crack like that?

Other tests at EMI were provided for the investigation of the debris impact behaviour of thermal protection systems (TPS) of re entry vehicles.

No United States hypergolic stages following this procedure have inadvertently exploded. The United States launch planning is also affected by projections of the Collision Avoidance on Launch Program, which warns of potential collisions or near misses for manned or man capable vehicles before they are launched.

And that's it. I was going to bring an airplane, but I was worried about hitting people in here, so I thought this would be a little bit more gentle.

4. Impact risk assessment and collision fluxes

A bump.

This draws spinning galaxies, which then collide and scatter their stars to the, uh, four winds or something. Written by Uli Siegmund, Harald Backert, and Hubert Feyrer 1997.

Based on the one year intensive study, the JSASS Study Group on Space Debris and Micrometeoroid Impact Detection has proposed the post flight analysis (PFA) of the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) to the Institute for Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer (USEF).

We're going to be rammed! We're going to be rammed!

I didn't see either of the planes hit, and when I glanced out my window, I saw the first tower burning, and I thought it might have been an accident.

We almost collide with the cornice of the Palazzo Farnese designed by Michelangelo, built of stone taken from the Coliseum narrow escape.

The Institute is involved in the operation of a network of all sky cameras that record the tracks of large meteoroids colliding with the Earth.

To compute the probability of an impact from space debris requires a meteoroid orbital debris (M OD) environment model, a spacecraft configuration and a mission profile.
