Design of Space Debris Protection System
摘要
InImpactRisk estimation the region near LEO, the maximum speed of a spacecraft colliding with space debrisSpace debris can reach 15 km/s, and the average collision speed is about 10 km/s. The energy generated is about 500 kJ, which is equivalent to the impact energy of a 10 g aluminum ball at a speed of 10 km/s, and comparable to the impact energy of a 1.3 t car at a speed of 100 km/h on the ground ( Gong, Z., Zhao, Q., Li, M., et al. (2019). Frontiers and prospects of debris protection research. Space Debris Research, 19(3), 2–13.). The spacecraft collision with space debris happens from time to time. As of 2019, the ISS has made 25 maneuvers to avoid the debris impacts. More than 16 satellites have been publicly reported disabled or abnormal due to debris impacts.
