DEBRIS EDITOR

In order to specify the “debris” application related input, the user opens the *.debris-file via the debris editor shown in the following figure.

The debris editor contains three pages:

DEBRIS EDITOR

Debris

Analysis parameters (for the “geometrical
analysis” of a spacecraft model)

DEBRIS EDITOR

Ground test

Damage equation test

DEBRIS EDITOR

Non-geometrical analysis

Randomly tumbling or fixed plate analysis

The debris main page specifies the parameters for the geometrical analysis. The Ground Test is an effective way to test and visualise the damage equations. The non-geometrical analysis allows a very fast guess of the expected flux values on a specific orbit.
