Background

Meteoroid impacts happen when small pieces of space rock hit a spacecraft or space suit. Because these pieces of rock are moving very fast, they can punch holes in material and cause damage. Layers of metal separated by a few inches or centimeters can break up meteoroids and protect spacecraft, but this strategy is not practical for space suits.
