Space borne photometry perturbations from solar light scatterd by debris

We study the possible impairment of the solar light scattered by small debris, measured by high photometric quality instrument, during space borne observations. We compute the contribution of the fragments released on orbit by the host satellite and of the debris already present in the background. Preliminary results show that these spurious fluxes can reach the level of the collected Zodiacal Light: there are the main components of the noise level which affect the scientific signal. On the future, threats on high sensitivity photometric missions should rise with the increasing launches of satellite constellations if no legislation controls the design of satellites.
