Generic hypervelocity impact related topics and specific Apollo/Skylab related investigations are reviewed. Cratering and spallation mechanisms and the relationships between the effecting physical parameters are discussed. Design and material requirements for meteoroid shielding structures are also addressed. Penetration resistance and failure mode studies for Apollo/Skylab components are reviewed.
