1 Scope

This document specifies the representation of space debris environmental engineering models, describes the modeling methods, and provides validation and verification procedures for these models.

The corrections and usage process are explained.

This document applies to the establishment of space debris datasets, the calculation of space debris environmental parameters such as spatial density and flux, and provides guidance for space debris...

The use of environmental engineering models in tasks such as assessing the spatiotemporal distribution of space debris and spacecraft risk assessment.

GB/T 34513 Space Debris Mitigation Requirements

GB/T 45621 Space Terminology - Space Debris

GB/T 47036 Analytical Calculation Method for Orbital Perturbation of Space Objects

3 Terms and Definitions

The definitions in GB/T 34513, GB/T 45621 and GB/T 47036, as well as the following terms and definitions, apply to this document.

3.1

A mathematical model describing how the spatial density and flux of space debris vary with parameters such as debris size, location, time, and velocity.

Note. Space debris environmental engineering models are an important data source for conducting spacecraft space debris impact risk assessments and protective optimization designs. Engineering models are used in space...

Based on observational data of the space debris environment, the space debris environment is approximately described in the form of a distribution function or data file.

[Source. GB/T 45621-20259.2, with modifications]

3.2 Spatial density

Within a certain time period and at a certain spatial location, a range of dimensions (greater than a certain dimension) contained within a unit volume (per cubic kilometer).

The statistical value of the number of space debris.

Note 1.The unit is per cubic kilometer (1/km3).

Note 2.Because space debris orbits the Earth at high speeds and does not remain stationary in a specific region of space, probability density is typically used to characterize space debris.

Spatial density of space fragments, i.e., the probability of a space fragment staying in a certain spatial region for a certain period of time.

[Source. GB/T 45621-20259.8]

3.3 Directed cross-sectional flux

The number of spatial fragments passing through a certain position perpendicular to a unit cross section within a unit solid angle per unit time.

Note. The unit is per square meter per year [1/(m2·a)].
