10.2.6 Margins and worst case fluxes

a. For a nominal assessment the space debris and meteoroid flux models shall be applied without additional margin factors.

NOTE 1 The flux models given in 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 were developed as best estimates rather than as conservative ones. Information on the model uncertainties is given in Annex J.2.3.

NOTE 2 The uncertainty of the impact fluxes of both space debris and meteoroids is estimated to be a factor 3 for all sizes.
