Contributed Session 5C: Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic Code Predictions for Meteoroid Damage...

Contributed Session 5C: Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic Code Predictions for Meteoroid Damage to Thermal Protections Brooke Corbett is a Research Staff Member at the Institute for Defense Analyses. She has worked on a broad range of programs within IDA's Operational Evaluation Division, including Live Fire Test & Evaluation survivability and lethality evaluations for U.S. Army, Air Force, USSOCOM, Navy, and Space Force programs. Brooke is developing subject matter expertise to support survivability and lethality evaluations of US Directed Energy Weapon Systems on DOT&E oversight, and supports survivability and risk analyses for select NASA Engineering and Safety Center programs. Brooke earned a PhD in Materials Science Engineering from the University of Denver in 2008, with research focused on survivability and risk assessments of hypervelocity impact damage response to the International Space Station's meteoroid/orbital debris shielding at elevated temperatures She earned a MS in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Denver in 2001, with research focused on middle atmospheric long-wave infrared measurements and line-by-line radiative transfer model predictions of water vapor and carbon dioxide at polar regions. She earned a BS in Physics from Le Moyne College, with project work focused on optics and the manual creation of a parabolic primary mirror for a Dobsonian telescope.
