Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission Micrometeoroid/Orbital Debris Impacts

Abstract: The MMS spacecraft are highly instrumented (accelerometers, star cameras, Sun sensors, science experiments for plasmas etc.). This presentation will discuss how data from these systems has allowed two micrometeoroid/orbital debris events to be studied: the Feb. 2, 2016 impact with an MMS4 shunt resistor, and the June 12, 2016 impact with an MMS4 wire boom.
