Description

The exploration and utilisation of space is affecting the environment in the vicinity of the Earth. The remains of space missions reach from paint flakes detached due to ageing to “dead” satellites and upper stages. These remains are called space debris and have more and more increasing effects on space-faring activities. Consequently, the space debris environment needs to be considered during the mission planning and spacecraft development, which requires a model describing this environment. The Meteoroid and Space Debris Terrestrial Environment Reference (MASTER) model is European Space Agency’s (ESA) standard model to describe the debris environment in the vicinity of the Earth.
Based on the MASTER model different aspects of a space mission can be evaluated. One of the aspects is the evaluation of the effects of the space debris environment on the spacecraft due to impacts. ESABASE2/Debris is ESA’s tool for this purpose. It allows to use different space debris environments to analyse the effects of the debris impacts on 3D-model of the spacecraft. The MASTER models are part of the pool of the available space debris environments.
This talk is intended to look at the experience with MASTER models as an ESABASE2/Debris user and developer and MASTER models “beta-tester”, with special consideration of the STENVI interface.
