Inventory, not endorsement. This page makes the project discoverable without turning its notebooks, source files, or raw outputs into an editorial article. Findings will only be summarized after manual technical and editorial review.
Repository inventory
Technical catalogue entry for The Kessler Horizon: Orbital Debris Simulator, recording 6 Python files. Outputs remain unreviewed until promoted into an editorial project overview.
From the project documentation
Overview This Python project simulates the "Kessler Syndrome"—a scenario where a satellite collision in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) creates a cascading debris cloud. It uses a physics-based engine including $J 2$ perturbation (Earth's bulge), atmospheric drag, and solar radiation pressure.

Current limitations
- This is an inventory-level catalogue entry, not a reviewed research claim.
- Code, notebooks, and generated outputs have not been treated as proof of validation or reproducibility.
Promotion path
To become an editorial project overview, this directory needs a reviewed question, provenance, reproducibility instructions, verified outputs, explicit limitations, and any public figures approved through figures/publish/.
