ESABASE2 Debris
The ESABASE2/Debris application can be used to perform risk analyses appropriately considering the risk posed to a spacecraft by the space debris and meteoroid environment based on the latest environment models. Geometry models can be extended to contain shielding parameters for those fully three-dimensional analyses taking into account geometrical shadowing effects and secondary ejecta.
Available environment models:
Debris models
MASTER 2001
MASTER 2005
NASA 90
MASTER 8
ORDEM 3.0
ORDEM 2000
MASTER 2009
ORDEM 3.2
Meteoroid models

Furthermore, the Debris application allows to apply several pre-defined, but configurable state-of-the-art failure and damage laws. In addition, the user can use his own failure and damage equations via the so-called “user subroutine” interface.
Damage Laws
The design and damage equations implemented in ESABASE2 are freely configurable by means of their relevant parameters. Some common equations with predefined parameters are offered via the debris editor. In addition, user-defined damage laws can be linked to ESABASE2 via external freely programmable User Subroutines.
