Most Pressing Issue: characteristic area calculation assumptions to be discussed #39

Closed CharlesPlusC closed 1 year ago

CharlesPlusC commented 1 year ago

Currently we impute a value based on the object type (which is unspecified most the time). What about sampling from a known distribution of characteristic areas for objects in orbit? Might be more representative than just essentially making everything the same size? This is important because it changes the rate of decay.

Fixed.
