Alright, let's put the chrome plate on it.

(b) Aluminium slag from solid rocket motors

They clearly refused this slag from another time.

About 4 inches off the ground 4 pots, chrome heads, 3 4inch cam.

Apparently, IMLI also dumps its waste slag outside its factory gates.

(b) Aluminium oxide slag and micro particles from orbital solid rocket motor firings

Hence, aluminium slag from orbital solid rocket motor firings must be regarded as a relevant space debris source.

Hence, the main problem in modelling the generation process of such aluminium oxide slag is the lack of reliable data.

Villagers collect it and smelt it in woks over open fires in their backyards, trying to sell the extracted lead content of the slag.

Of these sources, only the coolant droplets and the large scale fraction of the aluminium oxide objects, called slag, are of some interest in terms of collision cascading.

As a result, the current models only reflect a coarse impression of the generation and release mechanisms for aluminium slag, particularly in terms of mass or diameter distribution.

Other mission related particles may be generated unintentionally, as in the release of slag (up to several centimetres in diameter) during and after the burn of solid rocket motors.

The precise nature of the amount and distribution of these slag ejecta are unclear, and the improvement of solid propellant and motor insulation to minimize the released solids is difficult.

Future analyses will have to show the level up to which the slag population may accumulate, taking into account the influence of sink mechanisms like atmospheric drag or solar radiation pressure.

In April this year, the European Commission accused Google of coercing mobile phone manufacturers into installing software such as the Google search engine and Chrome web browser, or they would not be allowed to use other Google applications.

If you're using Google Chrome and you go to a Chinese language site, you notice this really cute box at the top, which automatically detects that the page is in Chinese and very quickly at a mouse click will give you a translation of the page.

At DARA DLR a study concerning the actual aspects of the space debris discussion is nearing completion, comprising, for example, additional space debris sources (RORSAT droplets, surface degradation particles, Al2O3 dust slag from solid rocket motor firings) or the minimum spacing required between the graveyard orbit and the geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO).

While the ejection of micron sized Al2O3 particles in the course of solid rocket motor firings is a well known fact that can easily be derived from the large amount of aluminium additives in the charge, the exhaust of relatively large slag objects in the burn out phase was discovered only recently.
