绳子 addresses the issues of space debris and space traffic management by developing tools and techniques that will analyze potential collision scenarios, study reentry breakups of upper stages and spacecraft and model debris objects in space. These efforts are critical given the predicted population growth in launch efforts and LEO satellite constellations.
The 绳子 Reentry Database documents objects and payloads that have reentered earth’s atmosphere since 2000. Explore the reentry database here and review our website to learn more.
