Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the Dynamic Integrated Space-Economy (DISE) model, designed to study the economic implications of alternative policies to mitigate orbital debris. The DISE model combines a standard neoclassical growth model with a physical space model for orbital debris dynamics. The economic model categorizes capital assets into two types: Earth’s capital and Space’s capital (i.e., satellites). The orbital debris model describes the dynamic of three types of objects: derelict satellites, rocket bodies, and fragments. DISE is intended to calculate the cost of space debris and its impact on the global economy. The model is simulated for a horizon of 200 years, starting from 2024, under different scenarios, including a clean space environment, laissez-faire, derelict satellites de-orbiting policy, all intact objects de-orbiting policy, debris-free launch systems, a combination of de-orbiting and debris-free launch vehicles, and collision avoidance. We find that the implementation of de-orbiting and debris-free launch systems mitigation policies is not enough to ensure space environmental sustainability, as in the long run the main source of debris generation would be collisions. Without any debris mitigation intervention, the cost of orbital debris would be more than 0.5% of world GDP in the long-run.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
