NASA is testing the durability of its spacecraft in a unique research facility in New Mexico. The facility, known as White Sands, is home to a massive vacuum gun that allows NASA to shoot objects the size of micrometeorites at different materials to test how durable they are when impacted. The tests are meant to test the durability of the spacecraft for future missions. The tests are part of NASA’s move to complete a Mars Sample Return in the coming years.
