    The problem with small objects Any trackable object, and many now too small to track, can cause unacceptable damage to most spacecraft are more small objects, they are harder to track, and drag causes larger and less predictable orbit changes current costs are driven by the small objects. Future small objects are likely to come from a few large / large collisions, like the Iridium / Cosmos impact.

    Small vs.

    Large Debris Objects


     The problem with small objects
     Anytrackable object, and many now too small to track,
    can cause unacceptable damage to most spacecraft
     Thereare more small objects, they are harder to track,
    and drag causes larger & less predictable orbit changes
     Most current costs are driven by the small objects

     The problem with large objects


     Most future small objects are likely to come from a few
    large/large collisions, like the Iridium/Cosmos impact
    Debris Is Clustered!
     81-83o incl: 739 objects, 817 tons, >97% Russian
     69.9-74.1o: 644 objects, 480 tons, >95% Russian
     96-103o incl:316 objects, 322 tons:
    US: 155 objects, 85 tons Best early
    US allies: 80 objects, 85 tons targets
    Russia: 42 objects, 93 tons

     Key performance constraints:
     Climbor plane change: power/weight; tape resist.
     Drag mode: tape resistance and plasma density

     Time per typical US target* (500 kg, 880 km):


    Phase to next target: 0-14 hours (550 km ∆alt)
    + Climb 550 km avg. at 200 km/day: 66 hours
    + 1-3o ∆plane, during phasing+climb: add 0-24 hrs
    + Add 6 orbits to tip-toe in, make tries, & capture
    + <3 days to drag down, if total/RD3 mass ratio = 6
    = >1 object/week, for 500 kg US sun-synch debris
    * Excludes Delta R/B, since stainless tanksets survive reentry.
