Space systems. Estimation of orbit lifetime. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This International Standard describes a process for the estimation of orbit lifetime for spacecraft, launch vehicles, upper stages and associated debris in LEO-crossing orbits. This International Standard also clarifies the following:

1. a) modelling approaches and resources for solar and geomagnetic activity modelling;
2. b) resources for atmosphere model selection;
3. c) approaches for spacecraft ballistic coefficient estimation.
