Hi list

When you see the shock number with a meteorite (ex: s3, s4 etc.), is this
referring to the amount of shock that the meteorite went through when it hit
the earth, or when it broke apart or impacts (or multiple impacts)
experienced in space. Or is it a number that refers to the overall shocking
that occurred through any source.
