The 9th Space Debris Workshop (February 24-26, 2021. Chofu Aerospace Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(CAC), Online meeting), Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
For the purpose of effective utilization of the orbital environment, the environmental capacity tolerance of insertions is studied using an orbital debris evolutionary model, developed in collaboration with Kyushu University. By inserting multiple spacecraft into a specific orbit regime and observing the impact on the orbital environment, the number of spacecraft that can be inserted into orbit (orbit insertion capacity tolerance) is evaluated. In this presentation, the results of studying the orbit insertion capacity tolerance due to differences in orbital regime, the number of inserted spacecraft, etc. Fig.1 demonstrates the difference in Effective Number of objects in LEO (Low Earth Orbit: altitude 200 to 2000 km) with and without 3000 spacecraft inserted into various orbital regimes. At altitudes below 800 km, natural decay due to the atmosphere may suppress the impact of insertions (and the generated debris). At altitudes between 800 and 1000 km, however, a remarkable increase in objects can be observed because of the many orbital residuals.
