对美国宇航公司使用的轨道碎片模型的评价

A REVIEW OF ORBITAL DEBRIS MODELING AT AEROSPACE CORPORATION

文章介绍了碰撞程序和碎片程序,并进行了评价。前一个程序说明了碎片撞击的破裂特性;后一个程序给出了当一个空间物体进入碎片云时的撞击概率。

This paper gives an overview of program IMPACT,and the representation and evolution of an orbiting debris cloud as it is modeled in the program DEBRIS.The former program determines the event's breakup characteristics,which the latter determines the probability of collision when a resident space object enters the debris cloud.
