For over half a century, an increasing number of satellites have
fragmented in orbit, creating a large amount of hazardous orbital
debris which threaten the safety of useful functioning satellites
and space missions. This book discusses the theory behind these
fragmentations followed by studies of actual cases.The book begins
with a survey of satellite fragmentations in orbit and the
consequent formation of orbital debris in chronological order.
Next, the fundamental physical processes underlying satellite
fragmentations are outlined and the methods of analyzing satellite
fragmentations presented. The rest of the book presents analyses of
the major satellite fragmentation events including accidental and
intentional breakups, those due to explosions and collisions, as
well as those belonging to the unknown category.
