RAM (Risk Analysis Module for ASTOS)<br />

RAM calculates the casualty cross-section (Ccs) of a re-entry<br />

object<br />

Ccc is computed using the the cross-section of all surviving<br />

objects and an average projected cross section of a human<br />

body<br />

The probability of casualty is determined using this casualty<br />

cross-section, the impact probability, and a population density<br />

distribution map<br />

The risk to the population on-ground is determined by<br />

integrating the probability over a terrain area with underlying<br />

population density<br />

Plots in 2D and 3D are available<br />
