Interpretation of the flux data of hypervelocity impact craters and perforations from recovered metallic satellite surfaces (such as from NASA's LDEF and ESA's Eureca) is primarily directed towards the derivation of particle diameters. This requires careful calibration, especially in the transition
We calculate the momentum transfer efficiency for small cratering impacts from 59 high-velocity (0.76-4.4 km/s) oblique impact experiments using nylon projectiles and targets made of basalt, aluminum, mild steel, mortar, and nylon. High-speed video frames show an initial luminous stream downrange of
