Hi,
Can anyone out there, point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for close up images/photos of damage to shielding etc on the likes of the shuttles and satellites, created while in orbit, by tiny meteories say 10mm> and even dust like particles.
I've searched many Internet sites etc, but none seem to carry this information.
Any suggestions?

Hi Scott:
Here is what I came up with, thanks to my friends Steve and Amelia Goldberg from H.A.S. here is Houston:
http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov
This is the NASA Orbital Debris Program Office at Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake, TX. It looks like they are doing extensive studies on space debris, for obvious reasons.
At this website one may acquire interesting and updated debris research information.
Wishing you well.
LL
