So I'm thinking about orbital warehousing of raw materials but I'm wondering whether one would actually need an orbital structure to store the goods inside or could you just strap a booster to the goods to keep them in their orbit and be done with it.
So does anyone know where I could find some hard figures concerning particle contamination of material in geosynchronous orbit?
Edit: Specifically thinking about solid, elemental, raw materials, the mainstays of Sci-fi tech and orbital mining like Iron, Nickel, and Titanium.
