It you slow down, you reduce the amount of noise you make and you reduce the risk of collision.

9. On orbit collision avoidance (for LEO)

Such analyses also require some impact calibration tests to study the response of unique array materials to hypervelocity impact.

2.2.2 Collision risk assessments in low Earth orbit

More than a hundred impact test data have been obtained in the impact velocity range of up to 5 km s using a two stage hydrogen light gas gun.

Now all of a sudden so on the side, people are going to be knocking into each other super fast.

4. Impact risk assessment and collision fluxes

Effective measures to mitigate the consequences of break ups caused by collision include the spacecraft design, selection of an orbit where the probability of collision is low, and collision avoidance manoeuvres (see paragraphs 112 118 below).

Collisions

statistical deviations esp. for initially low collision probabilities.

This is due to the relatively low collision rates expected for the next decades.

(e) Ground based simulations of hypervelocity collisions with satellite and rocket bodies

provided a large surface area of exposed surface which could be examined for impact sites. Through the application of empirical impact formulae relating the material characteristics of both impactors and spacecraft surfaces and the impactor speed and incidence to these surfaces to impact features, it was possible to infer the encountered micro debris environment by counting, measuring and chemically analysing the residue observed in impact sitesW.

We've got him! Collision course.

It's learning skills like being in a high speed car crash.

This illustrates that the two bumper plates before the main plate provided no protection against the debris impact with 14 g in mass and 2 km s in collision velocity.

Feedback collisions, i.e. collisions where one or both objects are fragments generated by previous collisions, will not play any significant role within the next 100 years, according to this conservative model.

This is a whale that just squeaked by a rapidly moving container ship and avoided collision.

The Large Hadron Collider, a particle physics accelerator, that we'll be turning on later this year.

The nature of the latter is not quite clear, but is believed to include explosions caused by hypervelocity impacts.

This means that collisional fragments will contribute to the number of subsequent collisions.

Hypervelocity impact experiments are important, not only for the design of space station protection systems, but also for the development of basic hypervelocity impact science and for understanding debris creation and dispersion phenomena.

(e) Only by limiting the accumulation of mass in LEO can collisional cascading be prevented

The limited number of these objects, their wide spatial distribution and the lower average relative velocities (500 m sec) combine to produce a substantially lower probability of collision in GEO.

Fine adjustment of mathematical models for the purpose of calculating relative velocity values and directions in respect of potential collisions.

It's just a log bumping.

A way to keep the number of actual collision events low in an environment with a significant risk of such an event is to reduce the overall area time product.

Collision analysis function to detect space debris that has high risk to collide with certain space systems

Just at the end of 1995 few hypervelocity impact shots with the shape charge facility of TDW (Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbH) have been performed, funded by DARA, to investigate the suitability for debris impact simulation and phenomena at velocities higher than 15 km sec.

Collisional cascading will not set in during 100 years, since most of the destructive collisions will occur between the members of the background population and not between collision fragments.

When temperature is high, this less entropic state, they ram into each other, and they'll become more entropic.
