Study of collision probability considering a non-uniform cloud of space debris

Abstract: The present paper aims to study the cumulative collision probability of a target that crosses a cloud of particles that has the orbital parameters of each individual element modified by a close approach with the Earth. Clouds of this type are formed when natural or man-made bodies explode for some reason. After an explosion like that, the individual particles have different trajectories. The clouds are specified by a non-uniform distribution of semi-major axis and eccentricity of their particles which are assu… Show more

“…These objects present risks for users of the space environment when one thinks about the integrity of operational spacecraft and the contamination of orbital regions around the Earth. They can damage active satellites orbiting the Earth, or they can collide with other debris, generating a cloud of even smaller debris [4]. In addition, a possible uncontrolled fall of these objects might create a great harm to society.…”

“…Esses objetos causam poluição espacial e são um risco para a exploração do espaço. Eles podem danificar satélites ativos orbitando a Terra ou podem colidir com outros detritos, gerando uma nuvem de detritos ainda menores [8]. Além disso, uma possível queda descontrolada desses objetos pode causar grandes danos à sociedade.…”
