A Method for Express Analysis of Mechanical, Erosion, and Contaminating Impact of Plasma Jet of Electric Propulsion Thruster onto the Large Object of Space Debris

摘要

A method for express analysis of mechanical, erosion and contaminating impact of plasma jet of an electric propulsion thruster onto the large object of space debris during its de-orbiting from a protected orbit to the disposal one is presented. The results of analytical and numerical calculations agree that verifies the method validity.
