The Impact Group regularly presents results at national and international conferences and publishes across a range of science and technology focused journals.\nThe funding acquired for this equipment is a European Research Council Consolidator Grant.\nThe PROSPER project focuses on the growing issue of space debris, which poses a threat to orbiting satellites and continued safe access to space. The specific goals being addressed by the Impact Group will be:\n*Developing advanced detectors to better understand small debris\n*Studying how debris shape affects the damage it inflicts on spacecraft and ejecta that is created\n*Examining the potential side effects deorbiting satellites could bring when they re-enter the atmosphere",
