Description:
The video presents COMSPOC's simulation of a Chinese anti-satellite (ASAT) test targeting a Fengyun spacecraft, detailing the breakup into discrete fragments. It further shows the evolution of the resulting debris cloud over time. The fragmentation logarithmic likelihood is shown on a color spectrum ranging from green to red across all locations. This reconstruction shows the long-term orbital debris implications of such events.
