41. Impacts by space objects such as meteoroids, micrometeorites and orbiting man-made debris, pose another design constraint on the cable. 42. It's more likely that ancient ice deposits have been pummeled over the years by micrometeorites , mixing it into the lunar soil. 43. But its calculations suggest that, if this happens, there is a 93 percent probability that a micrometeorite impact will be the cause. 44. "They've had no basic problem with micrometeorites , but they've had problems with fires and crashes ." 45. The module also lacks adequate external shielding for long term protection from impacts with micrometeorites and small bits of man-made space debris. 46. Never mind that five astronauts were circling Earth aboard space shuttle Discovery, and that one of their windows was gouged by a micrometeorite . 47. They have also been identified on grains found in meteorites, and on man-made objects exposed to the micrometeorite flux in space. 48. They knew that interplanetary space is an active region of dust and gas, winds of charged solar particles, micrometeorites , asteroids and comets. 49. This time he was able to grab hold of some wire bundles and retrieved the Micrometeorite Collector ( S-10 ) from the Agena. 50. The surface of Umbriel is slightly blue in color, while fresh bright impact deposits ( in micrometeorites over the age of the Solar System.
