This report presents a review of information on the incidence of meteoroids and solid debris in orbital space, the damaging effects of these materials, and the principles that may be used to design protective shields for orbiting spacecraft. The report was prepared as part of a current Oak Ridge National Laboratory effort to develop and evaluate conceptual designs of space power systems. (ERA citation 11:033458)
