Title: Effect of impactor area on collision rate estimates

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/378645· OSTI ID:378645

Analytic and numercial estimates provide an assessment of the effect of impactor area on space debris collision rates, which is sufficiently small and insensitive to parameters of inerest that it could be neglected or corrected.
