- abstract
A method of "quick" evaluations of danger imposed on artificial satellites by catalogued objects of debris is proposed. As an indicator of the degree of danger the forecasted number of possible "mechanical conflicts" (collisions) between debris objects and space vehicles on near-earth orbits during the considered time period is suggested.
