A successful experiment to assess the meteoroid hazard to thin stainless- steel skin material was flown as part of the Explorer XVI satellite. A total initial area of 3.625 square feet consisting of 0.001-, 0.003-, and 0.006-inch- thick AlSl 304 stainless-steel segments was exposed in space for a period of 221 days. The 0.001-inch-thick surface experienced six penetrations, the 0.003-inch-thick surface experienced one penetration, and the 0.006-inch-thick surface experienced zero penetrations. This report describes the results of the experiment and the conclusions drawn from the results.
