Abstract The space debris population is constantly increasing, including large spare upper stages and spacecraft. Atmospheric re-entry events caused by these artificial objects pose a threat to the ground-based their understanding accurate modelling are required. On 24th of October 2020, two cameras AMOS system in Hawaiian Islands recorded event rocket’s stage. In presented work, we aim improve...

The analysis, being overpredictivebut simple and fast, was then applied to six other sabot models, as given in Figs. 9 and 10, to examine their relative lifting capability. These sabot models and dimensions were generated by the PRODAS code. These sabots are for both the 120and 105-mm calibers, as provided in Table 2. Note that sabotmodel 3 has four petals insteadof the more common three-petal ...
