Abstract
The number of uncontrollable objects orbiting around the Earth is constantly growing because of the increased number of new missions and launches and the increased frequency of breakup events. Even with debris mitigation guidelines, some breakup events are difficult to predict or avoid. Consequently, it is extremely important to monitor the appearance of new fragments and study them to have a better knowledge of the events and reduce the risk they pose to other active objects.
期刊介绍:
Acta Astronautica is sponsored by the International Academy of Astronautics. Content is based on original contributions in all fields of basic, engineering, life and social space sciences and of space technology related to:
The peaceful scientific exploration of space,
Its exploitation for human welfare and progress,
Conception, design, development and operation of space-borne and Earth-based systems,
In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes selected proceedings of the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), transactions of the IAA and special issues on topics of current interest, such as microgravity, space station technology, geostationary orbits, and space economics. Other subject areas include satellite technology, space transportation and communications, space energy, power and propulsion, astrodynamics, extraterrestrial intelligence and Earth observations.
