Abstract

Derivations of several explicit expressions of the collision probability under circular and ordinary orbital conditions through analysis of approaching distance are presented, so as to have the collision probability expressed as explicit functions of the approaching distance or approaching geometric relationship, and errors and application scopes of the explicit expressions are also analyzed.
