COLLISION RISK ON LINE SERVICE
SHARE MY SPACE Space debris recycling and management INDEMN 1.0 INtelligent DEbris MaNagement Long-term risk prediction software for space debris collision based on statistical models. The program was made to help satellite operators to take into account the risk related to on-orbit space debris collision when planning the missions of their satellites. INDEMN 1.0 features a library for input and output visualization. The statistical model includes: Source terms for the generation of space debris: On-orbit collisions Pressure tank explosions System failures Space situation data loading And mitigation terms: Atmospheric drag Atmospheric re-entry The distribution of space objects at a given date is provided as an input. Several databases are included in the program such as the US Air Force space-track data bases and the NASA NSSDCA catalogue. All the space situation scenarios such as mega-constellation deployment can be implemented as an input to the code. The density of space debris is computed for various altitudes and a statistical model is able to compute the evolution of the probability of collision for a given spacecraft in time. The simulation tool was validated with ESA s finest Monte-Carlo codes and it has the great advantage to run at very low computational cost, so that many different scenarios can be easily tested.
