SEET Particle Distribution Fluence

Computes the fluence (i.e., the flux integrated over time) for the distribution of mass particles that are used to model meteoroid and debris particulates. Valid for vehicles whose central body is earth.

Available for these objects: LaunchVehicle, Missile, Satellite

Type: Time-varying data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.

Availability: Reports | Graphs

Data Provider Elements

Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Mass	Mass	Real Number	Mass of the satellite.
Log(Mass g)	Unitless	Real Number	The base-10 logarithm of the mass value when expressed in grams.
Impact fluence	Fluence	Real Number	The integrated flux over the requested time interval for the particle. The integration is performed using Simpson's rule using a step size based upon the specified step size, adjusted to insure that an even number of steps is taken (as is required for Simpson's rule to be used).
Impacts	Unitless	Real Number	The number of impacts over the requested time interval, found by multiplying the cross sectional area by the impact fluence.
