bumpers / armor

The Whipple shield or Whipple bumper, invented by Fred Whipple, is a type of spaced armor shielding to protect crewed and uncrewed spacecraft from hypervelocity impact / collisions with micrometeoroids and orbital debris whose velocities generally range between 3 and 18 kilometres per second (1.9 and 11.2 mi/s). According to NASA, the Whipple shield is designed to withstand collisions with debris up to 1 cm, which helps to mitigate the Kessler syndrome.

    Sliders

    Hello Friends, I'm on a stock suspension and would like to get sliders on before I do any off-roading. I would like as much of a sleek profile as I can get. Any recommendations? I live in MN and am wondering if there are any local vendors but am open to any suggestions.
