Space Debris: Hazard Evaluation and Debris (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367396589)

When the space era began, few thought that putting satellites into orbit might have a negative side. Alas, man's space activity has led to the formation of a new media named "space debris." Space Debris will appeal to readers unfamiliar with space ecology issues, as well as experts and designers. The volume features actual data on the space debris environment; new mathematical models for space debris evolution, production and self-production; description of the existing software and concepts for shield design. The author also reviews methods of collision risk assessment, including the attitudes and inclinations of orbits, collision hazard evaluation and suggestions for preventative measures.
