VELA region 1

 

Belt:

Name: Vela region 1

Extent: orbits between 45m km, and 70m km

Density: moderate, most bodies lie in a band between 61m km, and 63m km

Object size distribution:            ~4400 objects 50km+

                                                ~1000 objects 150km+

                                                5 objects 300km+

                                                0 objects above 600km

Composition: nearly all metallic, some stony and igneous, thought to be planetary remnants, or a region of planetesimals that never formed to create a planet.

Summary: This belt is typical of the inner belts found in the Vela system, many asteroids in this belt have been dismantled for ship manufacture for the various shipyard in this system, this belt is particularly favored because of the high density of the asteroids, and structural integrity.
