Cool, but that appears to be a disproportionately large piece of space junk.
One should not normally expect to be hit with something the size of the USS
Grissom.

Subject: USS Enterprise model tested at Mach 5
For StarTrek fans we tested the USS Enterprise in our super-orbital
expansion tube - X2. A scale model was placed in the test section
and the facility used to generate a high speed gas flow of around 6.6
km/s. This was passed over the Enterprise for a duration of approximately
100 microseconds.
