The Earth is surrounded by inoperative objects created by past space missions; as the orbital speed is very high, the impact with a very small fragment, down to 1 cm, can be catastrophic for operating satellites. Therefore, it is important to assess the collision risk due to space debris; this requires a reliable picture of the debris environment and a deep understanding of its evolution. In this work, an analytical approach is used to describe the evolution of a debris cloud created by a collision in Low Earth Orbit. In contrast to traditional approaches, which follow the trajectory of single fragments, here the cloud behaviour is studied globally. This reduces the computational time needed to estimate the consequence of a collision and al...
