The consequences for the future debris environment are discussed.
The in-situ debris environment awareness system has been developed.
LEGEND, a LEO-to-GEO Environment Debris model, is capable of reproducing the historical debris environment as well as performing future debris environment projection.
Recent improvements to the NASA long-term debris environment model, EVOLVE 4.0, allow for a reassessment of the effects of NASA Safety Standard mitigation measures on the projected debris environment.
The debris environment long term analysis (DELTA) model, developed by QinetiQ for the European Space Agency (ESA), allows the future projection of the debris environment throughout Earth orbit.
There are different aspects to the impact of a fragmentation event on the debris environment.
This shows the problem faced by satellite operators by the debris environment.
They contributed to the space debris environment in the centimeter and millimeter size regime.
Breakup model is the key area of space debris environment modeling.
Prior to 1990, there were no statistically significant measurements of the debris environment for debris sizes below 10 cm diameter.
