The primary objective of the MTS is to evaluate the effectiveness of a typical bumper- protected multi-sheet spacecraft structure for meteoroid protection. This will be the first inflight test of the bumper concept. Additional experiments included will measure: the impact velocity distribution of meteoroids and the flux distribution of small mass meteoroids .
