Sensitivity analysis for a space debris environment model

Abstract

In space debris models, even a small change in the simulation variables can profoundly influence the evolution of the orbital population. The focus of this paper is to investigate the response of the LEO environment to the change in number and distribution of new object launched. The results of the performed sensitivity analysis suggest that the more critic regions lie in 800-1000 km and 1100-1300
km.
