Title:

Evaluation Mechanism for Spacecraft Pre Launch Debris-Generation Explosion Risk Assessment: Updated 2022

Author(s):

Abstract:

The current assessment methodology generalizes lessons learned in past evaluations to define a general procedure that is available to evaluate future missions. This methodology covers all phases of operation of the spacecraft, including deployment, mission, disposal maneuvers, passivation, and end-of-life (disposal orbit). In general, the subsystems determined to be a source of risk for debris generation are those that contain stored energy.
