Any debris being sucked in will have enough momentum that it will not make such a sharp bend, and will hit the screen on the upper left, and will be carried out to the left, getting blown overboard. Potential foreign object debris (in this case, a Scops owl) found in the wheel well of an F/A-18 Hornet on a US aircraft carrier
The F.O.D. Control Corporation [1] is a private company that serves the aerospace industry's need for equipment and information to address FOD (Foreign Object Damage/Debris) issues in airport and manufacturing environments.
An analysis that determined the 50 "statistically most concerning" debris objects in low Earth orbit determined that the top 20 were all Zenit-2 upper stages. [90] a Delta II rocket used to launch NASA's 1989 COBE spacecraft exploded on December 3, 2006. This occurred even though its residual fuel had already been vented to space. [84]
As of 2012 there were an estimated 500,000 pieces of debris in orbit, [4] with 300,000 pieces below 2000 km . [1] Of the total, about 20,000 are tracked. [ 1 ] Also, about sixteen old Soviet nuclear space reactors are known to have released an estimated 100,000 NaK liquid metal coolant droplets 800–900 km up, [ 5 ] which range in size from 1 ...
Debris is rubble, wreckage, ruins, litter and discarded garbage/refuse/trash, scattered remains of something destroyed, etc. Debris may also refer to: Road debris; Glacial debris. Ice rafted debris; Marine debris; Space debris; Woody debris (disambiguation) Demolition waste; Foreign object debris; Behind-armor debris
Unfortunately, the main article should have been "Foreign Object Debris" (which is the more prevalent definition of FOD) with "foreign object damage" redirecting to it. As of this date, the titles/links are reversed. Not sure how to fix. Mulehide 15:51, 7 April 2019 (UTC) We can fix this with a move request.
On the other hand, if an object is made of a material with a high melting point, (e.g., titanium, stainless steel, beryllium, carbon-carbon), the object will demise at a lower altitude and in many cases will survive. Also, if an object is contained inside a housing, the housing must demise before the internal object receives significant ...
Space debris usually burns up in the atmosphere, but larger debris objects can reach the ground intact. According to NASA, an average of one cataloged piece of debris has fallen back to Earth each day for the past 50 years. Despite their size, there has been no significant property damage from the debris. [1]
