Design of simulation and analysis software for space debris

Space debris is the product of human space activity. Vigorous developing space technology promotes much more applications of satellites in our life. However, it also caused the fast growing of space debris number. Fast moving debris post potential collision risk to satellites. Therefore, space situation awareness is vital for the safety of current and future space activity. In this paper, a simulation and analysis software for space debris is proposed, for better understanding and analyzing the orbital debris and its collision risk. The system requirement is discussed first. Then, architecture and subsystem design are given out. Some applications are shown in the end of the paper.
