The future evolution of the debris environment will be forecast on the basis of traffic models and possible hazard mitigation practices. The text shows how large trackable objects will have re-entry pinpointed and predictions made on related risk assessment for possible ground impact. Models will also be described for meteoroids which are also a prevailing risk.

The Current Space Debris Environment and its Sources.- Modeling of the Current Space Debris Environment.- Modeling of Collision Flux for the Current Space Debris Environment.- Modeling of the Future Space Debris Environment.- Effects of Debris Mitigation Measures on Environment Projections.- Hypervelocity Impact Damage Assessment and Protection Techniques.- Operational Collision Avoidance with Regard to Catalog Objects.- Re-Entry Prediction and On-Ground Risk Estimation.- Modeling of the Terrestrial Meteoroid Environment.- Space Debris Activities in an International Context.

Provides the reader with a detailed analysis of the sources of the current on-orbit space debris environment

Details the mathematical description of risk analysis and debris environment modelling techniques, for all currently known debris sources

Gives examples of the analysis of on-orbit collision avoidance, with historic examples

Analyses re-entries of hazardous objects with historic examples

Demonstrates the effects of debris mitigation measures on the long-term risk evaluation and environment stability
