[net.columbia] micrometeoroid impact on shuttle

dgd@ukc.UUCP (D.G.Dixon) (08/08/83)

 regarding message from david smith about a meteoroid impact
 on a shuttle window:
 i have not yet seen av.week and sp. tech. (megadeath weekly!) article
 so i assume the impact was fairly large (1mm?). spacecraft windows
 such as those from skylab/apollo are very useful for recording micro-
 particle hypervelocity impacts and in some cases they retain material
 from the incident particles. does anybody know where the window has
 ended up?
