Impact probability model
For a size class with flux F (impacts/m²·yr), impacts follow Poisson statistics: P(≥1) = 1 − e^(−F·A·T).
The debris environment peaks near 800 km and 71–74°/SSO inclinations; typical LEO impact speed ~10 km/s means a 1-mm aluminum sphere carries the energy of a rifle bullet. Fluxes here are order-of-magnitude environment averages — formal MMOD risk uses ORDEM/MASTER with geometry shadowing and ballistic limit equations.
