Title: Space debris collision and production analytic estimates

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/378771· OSTI ID:378771

Analytic estimates provide useful estimates of collision rates, fragment production rates, and average collision masses and numbers in good agreement with analytic and numerical estimates for the principal quantities of interest.
