Impact mass flux |
MassFlux |
Real Number or Text |
The total impact mass flux from all particulates,
found as the integral of the particle impact flux distribution with
respect to mass. If the mean altitude is below the minimum of the
model, the value will be "BelowMinAltitude"; if the mean altitude
is above the maximum of the model, the value will be
"AboveMaxAltitude"; if the orbit is too eccentric for the model to
be valid, the value will be "OrbitTooEccentric"; if mean elements
could not be computed the value will be
"CannotComputeMeanElements"; the value will be "CannotComputeValue"
is some other error occurs. |
Impact mass rate |
Mass Per Time |
Real Number or Text |
The rate of total debris impact mass, computed by
multiplying the cross sectional area by the impact mass flux. If
the mean altitude is below the minimum of the model, the value will
be "BelowMinAltitude"; if the mean altitude is above the maximum of
the model, the value will be "AboveMaxAltitude"; if the orbit is
too eccentric for the model to be valid, the value will be
"OrbitTooEccentric"; if mean elements could not be computed the
value will be "CannotComputeMeanElements"; the value will be
"CannotComputeValue" if some other error occurs. |
Impact flux |
Flux |
Real Number or Text |
The total impact flux from all particulates, found
as a simple sum of the impact flux of all particulates. If the mean
altitude is below the minimum of the model, the value will be
"BelowMinAltitude"; if the mean altitude is above the maximum of
the model, the value will be "AboveMaxAltitude"; if the orbit is
too eccentric for the model to be valid, the value will be
"OrbitTooEccentric"; if mean elements could not be computed the
value will be "CannotComputeMeanElements"; the value will be
"CannotComputeValue" if some other error occurs. |
Impact rate |
Unitless Per Time |
Real Number or Text |
The rate of total debris impacts, computed by
multiplying the cross sectional area by the impact flux. If the
mean altitude is below the minimum of the model, the value will be
"BelowMinAltitude"; if the mean altitude is above the maximum of
the model, the value will be "AboveMaxAltitude"; if the orbit is
too eccentric for the model to be valid, the value will be
"OrbitTooEccentric"; if mean elements could not be computed the
value will be "CannotComputeMeanElements"; the value will be
"CannotComputeValue" if some other error occurs. |
MeanAltitude |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
The approximate mean altitude of the vehicle used
to evaluate the debris model. |
MeanInclination |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
The approximate mean inclination of the vehicle
used to evaluate the debris model. |
13 month Avg F10 |
Unitless |
Real Number |
The average F10.7 value of the trailing 13 months
prior to the sampled time. |
