Abstract
The emerging field of nanotechnology with its nanosatellite potential is related to the problem of interaction with the space environment, especially with orbital debris populations. This is done by using the Livingston curve, widely cited in high-energy physics when discussing advanced technology and the future development of particle accelerator populations, as a universal quantitative relationship for the time evolution of technology.
