Abstract
The description of the space debris environment and its sources in Chapter 2 reflects a widely accepted, common understanding among space debris researchers. There are, however, different methods in existence for reproducing the observed environment by means of mathematical and physical models of release processes, for propagating orbits of release products, and for mapping the propagated environment onto spatial and temporal distributions of object densities, transient velocities, and impact fluxes. The subsequent chapters will focus on methods which have been developed at ESA, or under ESA contracts in context with ESA’s MASTER-2001 model (Meteoroid and Space Debris Terrestrial Environment Reference, (Bendisch et al., 2002)). At the end of this chapter a general overview of some of the most prominent space debris environment models will be provided.
