The physics of hypervelocity impacts is reviewed with special application to impact of space debris on orbiting spacecraft. The potential effects on different spacecraft structures are described. The status of experimental and theoretical work for the Columbus Space Station is reported in detail. A strategy for continued investigation of shielding performance is outlined. Ways in which the weight of shielding elements can be decreased are investigated. The use of composite materials for shielding is discussed.
