Kessler Syndrome: Orbital Debris Cascade (2D)

2D top-down Kessler-syndrome lab: pick an orbital shell, set debris density and active-removal mitigation, and watch the mean-field population equation decide whether the shell settles or runs away into cascading collisions.

This 2D companion drives the same density/mitigation risk formula as the 3D Kessler Syndrome Simulator through a plain top-down canvas view: pick LEO, MEO or GEO, set debris density and active-removal mitigation, and a mean-field population equation — collision growth scaling with density squared, weighed against each shell's real natural-decay lifetime — plays out live, with a sparkline showing whether the shell settles or cascades.

⚙ Under the hood

2D top-down Kessler-syndrome lab: orbital-shell selector, density/mitigation/time-scale sliders, Kepler-law angular rates, and a live population-growth sparkline driven by a collision-cascade ODE.
