- This paper presents a novel method for evaluating how vulnerable individual satellites are to explosions or collisions that might take place in Earth orbit. The work led to ESA contract (EUR 75K, Colombo PI, Oct. 2016) to measure the management of satellites after their mission end. Letizia was employed as a contractor in the ESA Space Debris Office from Oct. 2017 to create a space debris index based on the work, allowing the Agency to provide guidance to satellite manufacturers and operators within Europe.
