HLRS employs particle scattering model to improve low-orbit spaceflight
Flying satellites in very low Earth orbits offers scientific and economic advantages. Gaining a better understanding of what happens when oxygen particles strike satellites could improve flight dynamics and potentially lead to new propulsion concepts that extend satellite lifespan.
