Atomic-6 sends its satellite armor to space and hopes it takes a hit
Startup Atomic-6 developed Space Armor, a shield to protect satellites from space debris without generating new fragments. Its first prototype flew on Portal Space Systems' Starburst-1 spacecraft, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Engineers hope it takes impacts in space so they can measure the shield's behavior via telemetry. According to ESA, there are more than 65,000 objects larger than 10 cm, about 1.5 million between 1 and 10 cm and some 230 million between 1 mm and 1 cm.
