Belt:
Name: Vela region 3
Extent: orbits between
342m km, and 412m km
Density: poor, bodies
scattered loosely within this band, no major regions
Object size
distribution:
~400 objects 50km+
5 objects 150km+
1 object 300km+
0 objects above 600km
Composition: great
range can be found in this belt, with metallic being dominant, also some
icy bodies can be found, and also large regions rich in scattered debris
(particle size average less than 5mm).
Summary: This is the
last major belt in the Vela system and also the least material
containing, its origins are not clear, as Maloth should have swept this
region clear in its migration some suggest that Maloth displaced these
bodies as it moved inwards flinging them out behind it.
