The perforation of a habitable module that is part of an extended lifetime space structure in earth orbit by a orbital debris particle will result in a thrust normal to the module surface. The thrust is due to the air exhausting through the hole in the module wall created by the hypervelocity debris particle impact. This paper addresses the global dynamic response of the Space Station Freedom following such a module perforation. By varying the size of the hole through which the module air is allowed to escape, an in-depth study of the dynamic response of the Space Station Freedom to a perforating orbital debris particle impact is performed.
