Dilution of disposal orbit collision risk for the medium earth orbit constellations

A.B. Jenkin, Author ; R.A. Gick, Author ; Aerospace Corp. (El Segundo, CA, United States), Issuing body | [S.l.] : Ft. Belvoir : Defense Technical Information Center | 2005

Previous studies have shown that disposal orbits for the medium Earth orbit constellations can be unstable and undergo significant long-term eccentricity growth. This can lead to repenetration of the constellations by disposed vehicles, thereby [...]
