session 2

Title: Resident Space Objects Characterisation and High Velocity Impacts
type: oral
Description: This session will focus on the detailed characterization of resident space objects (RSO), including small debris and angular motion determination through estimation, simulation, and experimentation. It will also explore phenomena associated with high-velocity impacts, protection and shielding tests, and fragmentation simulations, with the objective of evaluating risks and effects on operational spacecraft.
