Abstract: The laser-driven flyer technique (LDFT) has many advantages in simulating the micro-space debris hypervelocity impact. This paper reviews recent progresses in the laser-driven flyer system for space debris hypervelocity impact simulations conducted in CAST, including: 1) the theoretical analysis of the flyer velocity based on the Lawrence Model; 2) a new kind of velocity in-situ measurement technology developed for the laser-driven flyer system; 3) the flyers accelerated up to 8km/s with good repeatability using two-layer targets; 4) hypervelocity impact experiments of micro-space debris for spacecraft surface materials, and the degradation laws of material functional performance; 5) the cumulative damage evaluation method is studied; 6) the diamond-like carbon (DLC) film employed to protect the optical materials against micro-space debris impact. At last, the new trend of laser-driven flyer hypervelocity impact research is discussed.
