Debris cloud of India Anti-Satellite Test to Microsat-R Satellite
read the original abstract
Understanding the motion of debris cloud produced by the anti-satellite test can help us to know the danger of these tests. This study presents the orbit status of 57 fragments observed by the CelesTrak and presented in the NORAD Two-Line Element Sets of India Anti-Satellite Test. There are 10 of these observed fragments have altitudes of the apogee larger than 1000.0km, the maximum one is 1725.7km. We also numerical calculated the number of debris, the results show that the number of debris with the diameter larger than 0.2m is 14, the number of debris with the diameter larger than 0.01m is 6587, and the number of debris with the diameter larger than 0.001m is 7.22e+5. The results of the secondary collision of the debris will produced more fragments in the space. The life time of the fragments depends on the initial orbit parameters and the sizes of the debris.
