# Intro
Why do we care
Possible stories:
sep 2019
2020 - 3 near misses with ISS (https://www.jpost.com/science/international-space-station-nearly-struck-by-chinese-satellite-debris-684809) (https://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/quarterly-news/pdfs/odqnv24i3.pdf)
May 2020 - Fregat tank breakup (left debris from 1000 to 6000 miles in altitude)
May 2021 - Canadarm2 got hit (https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/iss/news.asp, part way down)
Nov 2021 - Dodge debris from anti-satellite test in 2007 (China) (Jerusalem post above)
Nasa releases a
Monday Nov 15, 2021 - ISS astronauts have to shelter in their exit craft due to a debris cloud nearing the ISS. (https://www.space.com/space-debris-astronauts-shelter-november-2021) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-LIh0fdfq8)
- from youtube: limits the set of experiments they can work with.
Maybe explain the whole section.
Why should we care?
- All orbits are subject to some degree of polution.
- Common uses: GPS, Military Communications, Commercial internet and TV.
- Exploratory uses: R&D of pharmaceuticals, exploration.
- Collisions and debris damage are to some degree inevitable.
- Kessler Syndrome
What is different now:
- Launch costs (https://aerospace.csis.org/data/space-launch-to-low-earth-orbit-how-much-does-it-cost/) (https://fortune.com/2017/06/17/spacex-launch-cost-competition/)
- Cubesats/nanosats (numbers at https://www.nanosats.eu/)
- in short, accessability. With lower cost per mass to orbit, more reasons to go. With lower development costs, easier to build many small satellites. This gives us a need for urgency.
- Anti-Satellite missles (US, RU, CH all have capability)
- Starlink vs Kupiter vs OneWeb (UK gov)
# Present previous literature
Rao Rondina
- Major results: exploitation of common pool resource
Adilov et al
- Major results: Exploitation of common pool resource
Adilov et al
- Major results: Divergence between economic and non-economic kessler syndromes
# my model
- Kessler Syndrome work
- Model description
# Solution methods
- Issues
- High dimensionality
- Many Firms, Governments, and other organizations (How many different operators currently?)
- Interacting debris fields between orbits (see the Fregat breakup)
- Approximation is required
- state space discretization
- Not sure which states to examine
- fuctional approximation
- Maliar
- Reinforcemnt learning
- Choice of using NN approach
- Well supported on hardware
- Transfer learning
-
# Analysis
# major points
- Summaries of results so far.
- Request for suggestions on utility functions that might be worth investigating
- Discussion of goals
- Investigate pigouvian taxation, cleanup bonds, etc.
- Standardize interface so it is easy to estimate results.
-
- Discussion of other work that should happen
- Estimation of parameters (simulation, bayesian, calibration, best guesstimates, etc)
- Rights of way work (way to get operators to declare a no-move value?)
- Satellite Lifetime Management and it's impact on decision making. (nested overlapping generations?)
