The impact of space debris on a spacecraft can result in a catastrophic event that not only destroys the structure but can also generate additional debris. The design of any spacecraft requires understanding the potential damage that can be inflicted by such an event. This is the case for hydrazine fuel tanks located outside the spacecraft for which it is important to evaluate the condition leading to its explosion. A previous study [1] aimed at developing numerical methods with IMPETUS Afea Solver® to reproduce the detonation of hydrazine and the associated transfer of the momentum to the structure when a fuel tank is impacted by a space debris simulating projectile.
