Download Paper UNCONTROLLED RE-ENTRIES OF MASSIVE SPACE OBJECTS 4th International Space Debris Re-entry Workshop ESA/ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany, 28 February – 1 March 2018 Outline • Uncontrolled re-entries of massive space objects during the last decade • The uncontrolled re-entry of the Zenit second stage 2017-086D • Status and decay time evolution of the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 Premise Space hardware re-entries can be of two types CONTROLLED if the time of re-entry is controlled and the impact of debris is confined to a designated zone UNCONTROLLED if the time of re-entry and ground zone of impact are not controlled To characterize in a synthetic way the relevance of uncontrolled re-entries, a re-entry magnitude ΜR was defined at ISTI-CNR as follows ΜR = log10 [(dry mass of re-entering object in kg) / 100] + 0.3 ISTI-CNR uncontrolled re-entry magnitude scale definition Dry Mass M0 of the Re-entry re-entering object [kg] magnitude MR M0 ≤ 50 MR < 0 50 < M0 ≤ 500 0 ≤ MR < 1 500 < M0 ≤ 5000 1 ≤ MR < 2 5000 < M0 ≤ 50 000 2 ≤ MR < 3 50 000 < M0 ≤ 500 000 3 ≤ MR < 4 500 000 < M0 ≤ 5 000 000 4 ≤ MR < 5 Sources of data Orbit of re-entered objects: US Space-Track Organization (www.space-track.org) Mass of re-entered objects: ESA’s DISCOS Database (discosweb.esoc.esa.int); Gunter’s Space Page (space.skyrocket.de); Spaceflight101 (spaceflight101.com) Relevance of uncontrolled re-entries [2008 – 2017] Large (RCS > 1 m²) catalogued intact objects re-entered into the Earth’s atmosphere during the last decade [2008 – 2017] . 366 rocket bodies (mass between ∼50 kg and ∼9 300 kg, 42 with mass < 500 kg) . 82 spacecraft (mass between ∼57 kg and ∼13 525 kg – launch mass including propellants, 14 with mass < 500 kg) −3 Ec ∼ 10 0 ≤ MR < 1 55 (12%) objects 2 ≤ MR < 3 −4 16 (4%) objects Ec ∼ 10 −4 Ec < 10 1 ≤ MR < 2 376 (84%) objects MR < 0 MR M0 Space Object 1 object [kg] 2.268 9300 SL-16 (2011-065B) 2.268 9300 SL-23 (2011-001C) 2.268 9300 SL-23 (2011-037D) Dry mass M0 of the Re-entry All intact Spacecraft Rocket 2.268 9300 SL-23 (2015-074C) 2.078 6100 DRAGON/FALCON9 (2010-026A) re-entering object [kg] magnitude MR objects bodies 2.078 6000 CZ-7 (2016-042E) 2.072 6000 CZ-7 (2017-021B) M0 ≤ 50 MR < 0 1 0 1 2.085 5916 PROGRESS-M 27M (2015-024A) 2.053 5668 UARS (1991-063B) 50 < M0 ≤ 500 0 ≤ MR < 1 55 (12%) 14 (17%) 41 (11%) 2.041 5502 CZ-2F (2008-047B) 2.041 5502 CZ-2F (2011-053B) 500 < M0 ≤ 5000 1 ≤ MR < 2 376 (84%) 66 (80.5%) 310 (85%) 2.041 5502 CZ-2F (2011-063B) 2.041 5502 CZ-2F (2012-032B) 5000 < M0 ≤ 9300 2 ≤ MR < 3 16 (4%) 2 (2.5%) 14 (4%) 2.04 5500 CZ-2F (2013-029B) 2.04 5500 CZ-2F (2016-057B) All re-entered intact objects 448 82 366 2.04 5500 CZ-2F (2016-061B) Re-entry frequency [2008-2017] Large catalogued intact objects with mass > 500 kg re-entered into the Earth’s atmosphere between 2008 and 2017 . 324 rocket bodies (∼88% of large re-entered rocket bodies) . 68 spacecraft (∼83% of large re-entered spacecraft) R/B SC R/B+SC Mass > 500 kg 60 Average re-entries 48 50 44 45 per year 41 40 39 40 36 36 36 entered entered 40 . 32 rocket bodies -

  • Uncontrolled Re-Entries of Spacecraft and Rocket Bodies: a Statistical Overview Over the Last Decade
    Uncontrolled Re-Entries of Spacecraft and Rocket Bodies: A Statistical Overview over the Last Decade Carmen Pardinia1*, Luciano Anselmoa2 a Space Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Institute of Information Science and Technologies (ISTI), National Research Council (CNR), Via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy 1 [email protected]; 2 [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract More than 24,400 catalogued orbiting objects have re-entered so far into the Earth’s atmosphere since the beginning of the space age. The associated returning mass, close to 30,000 metric tons, was mainly concentrated in intact objects, i.e. payloads and spent upper stages, accounting for nearly 29% of the re- entered objects. During the 10 years from 2008 to 2017, almost 450 large intact objects have re-entered without control, with a total returning mass of approximately 900 metric tons. Since the beginning of 2018 until mid-November, nearly 86 metric tons of returned materials were associated with almost 65 uncontrolled re-entries of large intact objects, three of which with a mass exceeding 5 metric tons: the Zenit-3F second stage 2017-086D, the C-25 cryogenic upper stage 2017-031B, and the Chinese space station Tiangong-1. After an overview of the most critical historic re-entry events, the attention will be focused on the re- entries of massive objects occurred without control from 2008 to 2017, by categorizing them in terms of relevance, re-entry frequency, returned mass, distribution in inclination, overflown latitude bands, eccentricity and perigee/apogee altitudes before re-entry. Cases in which spacecraft and rocket bodies components were retrieved, and eyewitnesses sightings were reported, will be presented as well.

  • Evolved Expendable Launch Operations at Cape Canaveral, 2002-2009
    EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH OPERATIONS AT CAPE CANAVERAL 2002 – 2009 by Mark C. Cleary 45th SPACE WING History Office PREFACE This study addresses ATLAS V and DELTA IV Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) operations at Cape Canaveral, Florida. It features all the EELV missions launched from the Cape through the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2009. In addition, the first chapter provides an overview of the EELV effort in the 1990s, summaries of EELV contracts and requests for facilities at Cape Canaveral, deactivation and/or reconstruction of launch complexes 37 and 41 to support EELV operations, typical EELV flight profiles, and military supervision of EELV space operations. The lion’s share of this work highlights EELV launch campaigns and the outcome of each flight through the end of 2009. To avoid confusion, ATLAS V missions are presented in Chapter II, and DELTA IV missions appear in Chapter III. Furthermore, missions are placed in three categories within each chapter: 1) commercial, 2) civilian agency, and 3) military space operations. All EELV customers employ commercial launch contractors to put their respective payloads into orbit. Consequently, the type of agency sponsoring a payload (the Air Force, NASA, NOAA or a commercial satellite company) determines where its mission summary is placed. Range officials mark all launch times in Greenwich Mean Time, as indicated by a “Z” at various points in the narrative. Unfortunately, the convention creates a one-day discrepancy between the local date reported by the media and the “Z” time’s date whenever the launch occurs late at night, but before midnight. (This proved true for seven of the military ATLAS V and DELTA IV missions presented here.) In any event, competent authorities have reviewed all the material presented in this study, and it is releasable to the general public.

  • Yuzhnoye Advanced Space Technologies (Part1)
    Yuzhnoye State Design Office named after M.K.Yangel was founded in 1954 to initiate development of strategic- purpose missile-weapon complexes. More than 50 years of collaboration with PA Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant, academic, science and research, manufacturing enterprises of former Soviet Union resulted in the development and production of four generations of strategic missiles, represented by 13 modifications which formed the basis of strategic missile forces. There were also produced 7 types of world-class launch vehicles (Kosmos, Interkosmos, Cyclone-2, Cyclone-3, Zenit-2, Zenit-3SL, Dnepr).
