AGI provides a complete break-up modeling environment for accurately simulating debris evolution and predicting the
effect of explosions, collisions, and ASAT events in all orbit domains. The simulation technique employs an
automated trajectory design that leverages a full force model and user-defined impulsive forces.
-
Debris trajectory design. By using impulsive forces to initiate the debris dispersion, large numbers
of debris trajectories can be rapidly generated through the automation of STK/Astrogator's proven numerical
integrator and complete force model.
-
Debris evolution. The application of full force models to the evolution of debris allows for proper
accounting of debris which reenters and poses no further threat to operational satellites. Full force
modeling also provides insight into the evolution of the debris into a more uniform distribution as a
result of differential nodal regression rates.
-
Debris trade studies. Using STK/Astrogator with parametric comparisons of debris distributions,
trade-studies to characterize increases in collision risks at specific time periods can be produced
and analyzed.
