(c) Break ups (produced by explosions and collisions)

(f) Ground based simulations of explosive fragmentations.

We blow it up and look at the pieces.

Such fragmentations are caused by either explosions or collisions.

(b) Currently, depending on size, fragments from explosions are the main source of space debris.

Such fragmentations are caused primarily by either explosions or collisions.

There are different types of orbital objects the largest number of such objects are fragment debris created by explosions.

Debris dispersion simulator to simulate orbital behaviour of the fragments generated by explosion or collision of space objects

It can be seen that explosions contribute substantially to the growing population.

But the fragments from background collisions, i.e. collisions among the basic population including explosion fragments, gain importance with time.

A set of modelling programs called the Space Debris Simulation suite considers the consequences of collision or explosion induced break ups and the short term evolution of the resulting debris cloud.

Among the different types of orbital objects, the largest number is that of fragment debris created by explosions.

Metal fragments found sticking in the sides of cars indicate the explosion of a heavy vehicle and the dispersion of such fragments in this direction.

A series of explosion experiments for modelling the breakup of a rocket upper stage is also planned.

They are unguided and their damage mechanism combines blast and fragmentation.

Again the bomblets are unguided, impact fuzed and combine blast and fragmentation.

It is well known that such explosions are currently the main sources of the most dangerous small sized debris.

The analysis of the fragments caused by the explosion and of the shape and form of the crater gives indicators equally supportive of hypotheses of a surface and a subterranean explosion.

The additional explosion fragments disappear, but the collision rate is not effected by this measure.

With the gradual accumulation of used spacecraft in orbits, their collisions with space debris (kinetic explosions) will soon become the main sources of new debris.

There are as many fragments generated by collisions as shown in Fig. 2 for the scenario including explosions.

A set of modelling programmes called the Space Debris Simulation suiteS. P. Barrows, G. G. Swinerd, R. Crowther, Review of Debris Cloud Modelling Techniques, Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, vol. 33, No. 4, July August 1996. considers the consequences of collision or explosion induced break ups and the short term evolution of the resulting debris cloud.

The view was expressed that an international centre could be established with the aim of providing information and advance warning on explosions in space, fragmentation of space objects and possible collision of space objects with space debris.

For example, clamp bands and sensor covers should be retained by parent bodies, and all fragments of explosive bolts should be captured.

In 1996, the French CERISE spacecraft was struck and partially disabled by the impact of a fragment which, according to the United States Space Command monitoring network, came from an exploded Ariane upper stage.

However, there are reasons to believe that small orbital debris resulting from explosions also exist in the GSO region.

However, there are reasons to believe that small orbital debris resulting from explosions also exist in the GEO region.

We're all cowering under the irresistible force of the explosions of ammunition, tons of fuel, shells warheads and torpedoes, which are tearing her great body into bits tossing tons of steel into the air until the blazing hull is like a steel volcano.

Of the debris mitigation measures identified, the limitation of mission related debris and the prevention of accidental explosions have been found effective and have already been introduced to some extent.

In 1996, the French CERISE spacecraft was struck and partially disabled by the impact of a fragment of an exploded Ariane upper stage.

This will permit astronomers to probe the chemical composition of the debris and learn more about the type of star that exploded.

It was understood that space debris are inactive man made objects, such as spent upper stages, spent satellites, fragments or parts generated during launch or mission operations, or fragments from explosions and other break ups.

I could listen to him for hours.

Its view on the nature and type of the explosion is based on its experts' interpretation of four main elements (a) the dispersion, size and shape of fragments resulting from the explosion (b) the size and shape of the crater created by the explosion (c) ballistics interpretations and (d) interpretations of the damage to the buildings in and around the area of the explosion.

The evidence of heat wash on several metal fragments is a clear indicator of a high explosive charge the fact that the Mission's experts found evidence of heat wash on fragments of vehicles and on fragments of metal shield holders placed in front of the Hotel St Georges supports the hypothesis of a surface explosion.

I grew up with the colors of war the red colors of fire and blood, the brown tones of earth as it explodes in our faces and the piercing silver of an exploded missile, so bright that nothing can protect your eyes from it.

It might be argued that the prevention of explosions in space can be applied to avoid a significant growth of the population gt 1 cm with time.

Janine Shepherd A broken body isn t a broken person

Since there are strong indications that other sources besides explosion and collision events contribute significantly to the debris flux on a target in an Earth orbit, multiple possible mechanisms for the orbital release of debris objects have been examined.

The objective of a NASA FGAN joint research investigation (DARA Contract, 1 90 6 95) was to characterize and compare debris shape, size intrinsic motion, mass, and orbital lifetime from different types of satellite breakups, for example, from collision and from explosions.

And you shred the candidate list.

I let my boy crush you.

(iii) Payload separation systems and multiple launching structures must not generate any debris (sealed pyrotechnic separation and trapping of explosive bolts and of straps)

Heartbreaking?

Besides explosion prevention, the reduction of the orbital lifetimes of spent satellites and rocket bodies to about 25 years is a necessary and appropriate debris mitigation measure.
