Re-framing orbital debris risk: from statistical probabilities to a dosage-based approach A proposed shift in orbital-debris assessment urges regulators and operators to measure cumulative "dosage" of debris exposure rather than relying solely on statistical collision probabilities. The dosage framework prioritizes long‑term exposure, persistent small‑object risk and the aggregate impact of repeated low‑severity encounters on assets and airspace safety.
