There are destabilizing resonances in medium Earth orbit due to third body effects from the Sun and Moon. Objects in the region suffer a growth of eccentricity dependent on their initial conditions. This study focuses on how debris objects from a fragmentation event would interact with the chaotic dynamics of the area. The debris clouds are studied for their interactions with nearby orbits, their eccentricity growth, and how varying initial conditions of an event will change each cloud’s evolution.
