A STUDY OF THE COLLISIONAL EVOLUTION OF ORBITAL DEBRIS IN GEOPOTENTIAL WELLS AND GEO DISPOSAL ORBITS

This thesis will present the effects of the orbital debris evolution in two key areas: the geosynchronous disposal orbit regime known as “graveyard” and the two geopotential wells found in 105◦ W and 75◦ E longitude bins. After developing a GEO specific orbit propagator for NASA Johnson Space Center...
