Pipeline operators continuously seek to improve reliability, safety and reduce corrosion and maintenance costs. Cathodic protection (CP) systems is a secondary external corrosion-prevention mechanism for underground pipelines. Two types of CP exist, namely, sacrificial anode CP …

The collision of cosmic projectiles with a terrestrial planet’s surface forms topographic depressions, known as impact craters. Since planetary surfaces are continuously bombarded, these features can be observed on nearly all solid bodies in the Solar System. On airless bodies w…

Lower Earth orbits (LEO) have become the residence for a significant number of large space debris, most of which are defunct satellites and rocket upper stages. The said debris jeopardize regular spacecraft operations in LEO and act as sources of smaller debris as a result of co…
