Description

With the multiplication of space missions and despite the severe European regulations, Man-made debris are still a major concern when it comes to satellite design. In order to be able to answer all projects demands, OHB put in place a quite complete process for applying the modelling in the context of MMOD analysis.
This process is based on MASTER on one hand and Systema/Debris on other hand. MASTER helps us setting the MMOD environment for several types of orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO, Exploration) and this environment is then used by Systema/Debris software as input for calculating the impact on the satellite surfaces.
In this presentation, OHB will explain this process and show in details how MASTER is connected to Systema (stenvi files) and what are the advantages and limits for such a method. This application in an industrial context will contain some kind of preliminary comparison between MASTER 2009 and MASTER 8. The outcome of this comparison can be used as a base of discussion of what possible improvements can be imagined for the modelling process.
Finally, OHB would present its objectives for the next years when it comes to MMOD modelling and what are the points of interest (Lagrange Point, BLE equations –if not out of scope-, Meteoroids models).
