Abstract

Introduction to the space debris issue. The current debris population and its source mechanisms are described. The orbital distribution of the space debris and the observation techniques of space debris are shown. Methods for the evaluation of the collision risk are introduced. The modelling of the long term evolution of the space debris population is described.
