- The orbit choices are 350, 550, and 900 km; the site explicitly says it tracks no real objects.
Field notes
The scenario uses simplified units for debris, service, pressure, and credits rather than real satellite positions or collision probabilities. Each response has a stated tradeoff: clearing removes modeled fragments, tracking reduces pressure, launching adds service but also congestion, and holding saves capacity. The page also links to ESA and NASA material for further context.
