12、 that a satellite drifting in GSO after the end of its life may block RF links of active satellites, recommends 1 that as little debris as possible should be released into the GSO region during the placement of a satellite in orbit; 2 that every reasonable effort should be made to shorten the lifeti

16、acecraft. 2 Rec. ITU-R S.1003-2 Annex 1 Environmental protection of the GSO In 2010 there are approximately 1 100 known spacecraft and rocket bodies near the GSO, of which approximately one-third are currently operational. Knowledge of the geostationary environment is limited by the resolution of Ea

17、rth-based observations. The smallest dimension of an object detectable and trackable (under best conditions) in the GSO at present is slightly less than 1 m; by comparison, in low-Earth orbit the population of objects having dimensions above 30 cm is deterministically known and catalogued, and the p

18、opulation of objects having dimensions down to 5 mm is statistically characterized as to altitude and inclination. Position knowledge of spacecraft or objects not under RF control is not as good as the operators knowledge of position of active spacecraft. Risk to operational spacecraft derives from

19、explosion debris fragments attributable to residual propellants and gases in rocket bodies and less frequently to stored energy in batteries. Risk can also derive from fragments produced by collisions between intact spacecraft. Moreover, additional fragments are also produced when a fragment collide

20、s with an intact spacecraft or another fragment. This latter risk has increased significantly in recent years at some altitudes as a result of a small number of events. Approximately 60% of the objects in the Space Surveillance Catalogue are fragmentation debris objects. Two fragmentations have been

21、 identified in the geostationary region, both characterized as explosion events. It is quite likely that there have been other events that have escaped detection due to the limitations of observation methods at this altitude. While collisions in the geosynchronous orbit will not have the extreme con

22、sequences of those in low-Earth orbit, with characteristic impact velocities of the order of 500 m/s, such collisions can still result in significant damage to orbiting systems. Given the current limitations (primarily specific impulse) of space propulsion systems, it is impractical to retrieve obje

23、cts from GSO altitudes or to return them to Earth at the end of their operational life. A protected region must therefore be established above, below and around the GSO which defines the nominal orbital regime within which operational satellites will reside and manoeuvre. To avoid an accumulation of

24、 non-functional objects in this region, and the associated increase in population density and potential collision risk that this would lead to, satellites should be manoeuvred out of this region at the end of their operational life. In order to ensure that these objects do not present a collision ha

25、zard to satellites being injected into GSO, they should be manoeuvred to altitudes higher than the GSO region, rather than lower. The target disposal altitude should be sufficiently high that, under the influence of perturbing forces, the satellite cannot interfere with existing operational satellit

26、es in the GSO region. The GSO region incorporates both the GSO (operational station-keeping zone) and the manoeuvre corridor directly above the GSO, and reaches an altitude of 200 km above the GSO altitude (as shown in Fig. 1). The basic requirement is that following disposal into a higher altitude

27、orbit, the spacecraft, which will be under the influence of perturbing forces, must not migrate back into the GSO region: H h + (1) Rec.

29、atellite in a super-synchronous orbit The motion of a satellite injected into an orbit with altitude wholly above GSO will be perturbed in a periodic manner due to the influence of: the gravitational influence of the asphericity of the Earth; the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon; the rad

30、iation pressure of the sun. The overall orbital perturbation, , can be represented empirically by two components. The combined influence of the periodic gravitational perturbations should not exceed 35 km for any satellite in a circular orbit (eccentricity less than 0.003), or: grav235 + 1 000 CrA/M

31、(4) for eccentricities 0.003. Lower disposal orbit perigee altitudes, which will still avoid the GSO region for at least 100 years, are sometimes possible when the orbital plane and the line of apsides are aligned favourably. 2 Fuel budget and margin Spacecraft operators are encouraged to monitor th

32、e use of on-board propellant to ensure adequate fuel is available to achieve the required manoeuvre at end of life. It is recognized that some existing operational satellites in the GSO may have difficulty in meeting this objective and that this may increase the risk of collisions. In addition, it i

33、s recommended that a fuel margin be added to the budget in order to account for the effect of orbital determination inaccuracies and possible execution errors. It is recommended that a multiple manoeuvre strategy be followed to raise the orbit perigee to the projected minimum altitude, thereby minim

34、izing the consequences of failure of the propulsion system due to either malfunction or inadequate fuel margin. Once the minimum perigee altitude has been reached, a multiple manoeuvre strategy should continue to be followed, progressively raising the orbit perigee, using to the greatest extent possible all remaining propellants and, if feasible, pressurants. Once any remaining propellants and pressurants have been expended, all further stored energy sources on board should be passivated (e.g., batteries, gyros) to avoid the possibility of fragmentation.
