NASA JSC Team and the HVIL led by Thomas Lacy at the Center for Infrastructure Renewal

In January 2023, NASA JSC team led by Drs. Eric Christiansen, the Hypervelocity Impact Technology (HVIT) lead, and Heather Cowardin of the Orbital Debris Program office toured the Hypervelocity Impact Technology lab at the Center for Infrastructure Renewal Center at the RELLIS campus recently.

The focus was road mapping research collaborations between NASA and the TAMU HVIL related to hypervelocity impact testing and analysis for shielding concepts related to micrometeoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) and other hypersonic vehicle applications.
