Abstract

Both solar radiation pressure (SRP) and Earth radiation pressure (ERP) can dramatically influence the orbit of space debris, particularly objects with a high area-to- mass ratio (HAMR objects). Little work however has investigated how these objects deform when solar radi- ation pressure (SRP) and Earth radiation pressure (ERP) forces are applied. In this work a flexible piece of debris is modeled as a lattice of interconnected particles. Internal and external forces are modeled on a particle by particle basis allowing for complex deformations to occur. The effect of these forces is shown on flat and curved objects and a coupled deformation/attitude model demonstrated.
