Analytical technique is developed to estimate spacecraft component and system protection requirements for resistance of meteoroid penetration damage for any interplanetary mission; model that describes characteristics and distributions of meteoroids in planetary, asteroid belt, and interplanetary space regions is applied to selected Jupiter orbital mission, and corresponding meteoroid flux-intensity profile is shown and used to estimate protection requirement; armor requirement for conceptual heat-rejection radiator system evaluated for various interplanetary missions is discussed.
