More work is needed to develop escape protocols, evaluate the use of sensors to detect and localize penetrations, and develop procedures for making permanent repairs. If enhancements are to be made in orbit when the station is operational, then program managers must prepare for the enhancement now. Recommendation 16. A study of the failure modes of shielded pressure walls should be performed over the critical range of the threat size, shape, and velocity to fully characterize damage control and repair requirements for potential International Space Station orbital debris penetration.
