Description
Due to their high velocity, micrometeoroids and small orbital debris (MMOD) represent a threat to the spacecraft or its components. Moreover, the amount of debris in space is continuously increasing. It is thus necessary to assess the probability of spacecraft damage or failure due to a MMOD impact during its mission lifetime. The aim of a risk assessment is to identify the SC components sensitive to MMOD, provide inputs to assess the SC reliability and, if necessary, support the implementation of shielding to improve spacecraft survivability. Systema-Debris is a software that perform this kind of risk assessment analysis. One of the inputs of Systema-Debris is the environment description of the STENVI files , output of MASTER.
The objective of the presentation is to present the computing process of the risk assessment tool Systema-Debris and in particular how it relies on MASTER's background population, how MASTER can participate in the improvement of Systema-Debris and raise interrogations about the STENVI format.
