Belt:
Name: Vela region 2
Extent: orbits between
86m km, and 109m km
Density: poor, most
bodies lie in a band between 61m km, and 63m km
Object size
distribution:
~1600 objects 50km+
~300 objects 150km+
3 objects 300km+
0 objects above 600km
Composition: large
mixture of types, thought that this region condensed from material
perturbed by Maloth, metallic is dominant but large amounts of all types
can be found, silicaceous and carbonaceous most significant of these
others.
Summary: typical for
the vela system, again probably debris from early formation, some
objects used for ship manufacture, carbonaceous chondrites been used to
create the orbital tethers in system, a few have been hollowed and
inhabited, mostly these have become research facilities.
