      abstract     = {The number of artificial objects in space increases due to
                      past and present space activities. To analyse the quantity
                      of the small (diameter >100 μm up to cm) space debris and
                      meteoroids, an innovative in-situ impact detection method
                      has been developed at DLR (German Aerospace Center) in
                      Bremen, Germany. The method Solar panel-based Impact
                      Detector “SOLID” uses solar panels for impact detection.
                      Since solar panels provide large detection areas and exist
                      on nearly all satellites, this method enables for the
                      collection of large amounts of data in different orbits. An
                      impacting object generates a permanent damage on a panel.
                      The damage can be determined during analysis scan as well as
                      confirmed or refuted in the frame of subsequent scans of the
                      panels. Those properties of the sensor system can
                      significantly improve the amount as well as the quality of
                      measurement data to be used for environmental model
                      validation. The SOLID method was successfully verified on
                      ground by Hypervelocity Impact (HVI) tests at Fraunhofer
                      EMI, Freiburg, Germany. The ability of the detection method
                      SOLID for impact detection of space debris and meteoroids
                      was clearly demonstrated on ground. Since July 2017, the
                      SOLID sensor system is placed in a 600 km Sun-synchronous
                      orbit on the microsatellite mission TechnoSat of Technische
                      Universität Berlin (TUB). Four solar panels equipped with
                      SOLID technology are installed on the satellite for in-orbit
                      testing and environmental exploration. The total detection
                      area of all panels is about 0.0755 m$^2$. The system was
                      designed to detect space debris or meteoroid objects with a
                      diameter larger than 100 μm. In total 15,570,047 scans were
                      performed over the four years in space. By means of
                      measurement data changes were identified on one panel.
                      However, so far, the telemetry data shows no clear evidence
                      for an impact.},
