| Nov 28, 2023 at 10:04 | comment | added | uhoh | @GremlinWranger oh and for the "interstellar" aspect of the OP's question, there's answer(s) to If a spacecraft travels at 10% c will it be destroyed by interstellar dust and particles? Also somewhat related: Is it pure luck that the voyager 1 survived to travel beyond our solar system in interstellar space? | |
| Nov 28, 2023 at 9:54 | comment | added | uhoh | @GremlinWranger there's some of that in answer(s) to How likely is it that the Voyager spacecrafts haven't yet been damaged by micrometeoroids? and in links therein, but there may be other posts as well. I wonder if the Voyagers ever hid behind their dishes during flybys like some later spacecraft have done? Not exactly avoidance as much as damage mitigation I guess. | |
