Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris, a collective term for small, high-velocity objects in space that pose a collision risk to spacecraft. Micrometeoroids are naturally occurring space dust, while orbital debris consists of human-made fragments from satellites and rockets. Spacecraft are often designed with shielding to mitigate damage from these impacts.
