Improvement of Satellites Shielding under High Velocity Impact using Advanced SPH Method

A huge number of debris coming from human activities is currently gravitating around Earth. Their size, their nature, their orbit and their velocity can highly vary, but they all represent an increasing risk of collision and a threat for the current and future space activity [1]. The space actors are looking for solutions in order to limit these risks and to protect the structures from impacts and generation of new debris (spacecrafts conception, limitation of the debris multiplication, waste life stage strategies…).
