Automatic Transfer Vehicle ATV Reentry Safety Trajectory ... - Congrex

Conclusions (II)
Trajectory risk analysis is not yet a common practice
(even in a voluntary basis)
The re-entry risk analysis process is composed of a
series of steps (procedure) that comprises the use of
software tools to calculate demise and fall down of
debris
The cost of the use (or even imposition in a space
project) of these tools is minimal in comparison with
the liability that would occur in case of disaster
