When the first sputnik was launched and the space era began, few
gave thought to the possible negative impact of putting satellites
into orbit. In fact, man's space activity has led to the formation
of a new media named "space debris," i.e. man-made objects and
their fragments launched into space, currently inactive and no
longer serving any useful purpose. Space Debris: Hazard Evaluation
and Mitigation will appeal to readers unfamiliar with the issues,
as well as experts and designers. It introduces concepts behind the
problems of space ecology. 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.
