When the space era began, few thought that putting satellites into orbit might have a negative side. Alas, man's space activity has led to the formation of a new media named "space debris." Space Debris will appeal to readers unfamiliar with space ecology issues, as well as experts and designers. 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.

"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 the fragmentation followed by studies of actual cases. The book begins with a survey of satellite fragmentation in orbit and the consequent formation of orbital debris in chronological order. Next, the fundamental physical processes underlying satellite fragmentation are outlined and the methods of analyzing satellite fragmentation 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"--
