Abstract
The terrestrial space environment of intact objects and space debris was characterized in Chapters 2 and 3 for particle diameters ranging from 1 µm to catalog sizes. The collision flux resulting from this environment for an object of a certain size on a given target orbit will be determined in the present chapter.
