The Plasmasphere

Most of the mass of particles in server sky orbits is cold (<1eV) plasma, in the upper fringes of the atmosphere. The total mass of these particles is small. This plot shows density versus distance.

This plot is modified from http://plasmasphere.nasa.gov/media/meridianswing.html

A few thousand tons of thinsats will vastly increase the number of coulomb scattering centers.
