Under considering secondary debris, the survivability of spacecraft impacted by space debris is finally investigated.

This leads to another interesting aspect the detectability of the dust-spacecraft impact plasma.

The identification of dust-spacecraft impact plasma and the corresponding effects will be addressed in future works.

Due to the collection of ions from the dust-spacecraft impact plasma, our model suggests that the spacecraft is charged less negatively when traversing through dust-rich regions.

For example, with a dust density of 0.1 m−3 and vrel = 10 km s−1, the dust-spacecraft impact rate is about 105 per second.
