Abstract
The article is a continuation of research published in issue No. 110 of the Proceedings of the MAI and AIP Conference Proceedings 2318, 020009 (2021). The research is devoted to the rendezvous of a space debris disposal spacecraft (hereinafter SDC — space debris collector) with a space debris object for the purpose of capture and processing into fuel.
The main problem of the article is a graphical evaluation of the study performed earlier.
The purpose of this work is a graphical assessment of the approach of the SCM and the selected space debris object by constructing their paths.
The relevance of this work is to increase the number of space debris objects that can damage spacecraft in a collision.
According to space debris data provided by the European Space Agency, the number of debris objects is as follows:
— 36,500 space debris objects larger than 10 cm;
— 1 million space debris objects ranging in size from more than 1 cm to 10 cm;
— 130 million space debris objects ranging in size from more than 1 mm to 1 cm.
The author concludes that the amount of space debris decreases slowly and only during periods when its formation is small and there is no particularly strong fragmentation.
The probability of a spacecraft colliding with space debris increases at orbital altitudes of 800 — 950 km.
In satellite orbit, you can see that the disturbing forces and additional masses from the collected space debris had little effect only in small periods.
