Scientists warn of growing space pollution amid record rocket launches

Scientists warn of growing space pollution amid record rocket launches

what is story

A university college in London, through researchers, has started a new international initiative regarding increasing production. Professor Eloise Marais, who was with her and in front of her, was the team that started monitoring the team activities in 2020 under her supervision. It is known from their figures that 259 rockets will be launched in 2024 and 223 rockets will be launched in 2023, due to which 153000 metric tonnes will be consumed, more than this there will be consumption of food.

Pollution concerns

Uncharted territory

Professor Marais of University College London (UCS) said that the Atmosphere is already being freed from the rockets and insults. Professor Marais warned that we are already in an unknown place because humans have not freed more than this poet. The Atmosphere has a lot of freed from the poison. If it is freed from the control then it can have a very serious impact on the earth.

Emission surge

Mega-constellation satellites worsen climate impact

During the study, it was also found that massive communication resources like Star Link One Web & Fourth Cells of Special Purpose Vehicles have increased the amount of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions by 30 times. These emissions are much less than the emissions from any industry. But researchers warn that these emissions remain in the upper layers of the atmosphere for a longer time than the sources connected to the Earth. The impact of these emissions on climate change can be more than 500 times more than the emissions from airplanes or ground sources.

Pollution shift

Changing propellant mix poses new challenges

Professor Marais also said that the amount of product used to project the mega-plane is now more than the combined product of all other machines. He said that in the future, with the mega-planes at the Amazon well, there is a possibility of change due to pollution. Those rockets are planning to use European space Agency (ESA) rockets that burn with rocket fuel and produce chlorine compounds that damage the ozone.

Future plans

Threat to the ozone layer

Dr Connor Barker of University College Landon said that the upcoming tests have been planned to test the huge quantities of radiation that are coming, which can have a significant impact on our climate. Dr Connor Barker has warned that future tests can fail the measures taken by the Montreal Protocol to repair the ozone layer. Over time, there has been a huge change in the objects present in the project and the classroom.

Legal challenges

Cleaning up space debris is difficult due to international laws

Professor Stuart Martin, chair of trustees at the UK National Space Centre, said current international law complicates cleanup efforts.He explained that the country that launched an object owns it and only its laws apply to that object in space. Due to which it becomes very difficult to clean the internal debris. 

Many of the earlier atmospheric gases are entering back and small chemically reactive metals are getting evaporated into the particles.
