摘要
We construct a dynamic model of orbital debris that predicts an "economic Kessler Syndrome", where orbital debris renders orbits economically unprofitable, precedes a "physical Kessler Syndrome". Our model generalizes to any orbit subject to debris accretions or decrements. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
