Low Density Sabot Catcher for Hypervelocity Impact TestsThe monolithic steel plate traditionally used to intercept sabot pieces during light-gas gun operations was replaced by low density material. The idea was to decrease the shock stress in these plastic sabot pieces to values below the vaporization threshold, thereby reducing the prominent soot-deposits that characterize typical target surfaces. The project was a collaboration between Orbital Debris and Planetary Science interests at JSC/ARES.
