Abstract:This document provides the basic information needed to estimate a general
probability of collision in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Although the method
described in this primer is a first order approximation, its results are
reasonable. Furthermore, the methods described above can be the basis for
developing more rigorous techniques for calculating collision probabilities
through the use of the Poisson probability distribution.
