A general methodology for simulating particle impingements on orbiting spacecraft is developed. Major steps in the modeling process are presented as (1) modeling objective, (2) construction of the spacecraft geometrical model, (3) simulation of the particles in the space environment, (4) particle impact and subsequent events of interest, and (5) results of the simulation. A simulation of the expected meteoroid impingements on the Hubble Space Telescope and the resulting angular momentum transfers which can cause telescope pointing disturbances is given to illustrate these methods.
