This paper studies the problem of characterizing the 4D (space cross time) region of the airspace that will be occupied by a space debris during an uncontrolled reentry, with the final goal of supporting the air traffic controllers in re-routing the air traffic when such an event occurs. The problem is formulated in terms of a chance-constrained optimization program, which is solved via a simulation-based method. The approach is comparatively evaluated against the so-called covariance propagation method recently proposed in the literature, emphasizing how some of the limitations of the latter method are overcome.

Abstract

This paper studies the problem of characterizing the 4D (space cross time) region of the airspace that will be occupied by a space debris during an uncontrolled reentry, with the final goal of supporting the air traffic controllers in re-routing the air traffic when such an event occurs. The problem is formulated in terms of a chance-constrained optimization program, which is solved via a simulation-based method. The approach is comparatively evaluated against the so-called covariance propagation method recently proposed in the literature, emphasizing how some of the limitations of the latter method are overcome.
