Prior to the retrieval in 1993 from low Earth orbit (LEO), the "-V2" Solar Array wing of the Hubble Space Telescope was exposed to hypervelocity impacts (mierometre to millimetre scale) from both micrometeoroids and space debris. The initial survey of the damage (100-35001am diameter sized craters)
Impact damage on glass faced HST solar cells generated by rear-incident impactors represent over one-third of the total damage on the retrieved solar array. Analysis of such space and laboratory generated morphologies has revealed a means of discriminating between front and rear incident impact site
