While meteoric particles can damage spacecraft components, tests show more serious explosion can follow high-velocity impact with oxygen-rich pressurized aerospace vehicle; study and experiments carried out to ascertain materials compatible with liquid and gaseous oxygen when pressurized structure was exposed to impulsive load; summary of results obtained and tabulation of impact data for pressurized cylinders of simple and complex construction; properties of several metals.
