If pieces got bumped into a higher apogee wouldn't their orbit end up with a lower perigee as well? If so I think that might actually be better for deorbiting quickly
- throw9474 2y agoDiffuse debris while at higher orbit can take out satellites in those higher orbits (like Iridium, Kuiper, etc..)
- meowster 2y agoAs long as it doesn't hit something while it's in apogee.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoOne collision might be barely statistically possible. Enough collisions to start Kessler takes a lot more than one.
- meowster 2y agoIsn't it the Kessler Syndrome when the debris from the first collision creates the subsequent collisions?
