Experts have expressed serious concerns about the risks of air pollution caused by spacecraft launches.
Experts have particularly warned the international community about the consequences of the increasing number of intelligent satellites and rocket launches.
Professor Eloise Marris of University College London and her team have sounded the alarm that carbon dioxide levels are rising to dangerous levels due to particles released by rockets.
259 launches were recorded in 2024 and 223 launches in 2023, burning more than 153,000 tonnes of fuel.
These particles, when trapped in the stratosphere, cause 500 times more warming than surface pollution.
In particular, mega-constellations of satellites such as OneWeb, Starlink and Thousand Cells have tripled the pollution.
Experts have called the FAA's environmental review inadequate and identified threats to local ecosystems, birds and aquatic life.
Experts say the increasing number of global missile launches since March 2023 has become a major threat to the ozone layer.
More than 2,500 space objects entered the atmosphere in 2024, which could increase the impact of metal particles on the ozone layer.
Experts said that the amount of aluminum particles is expected to increase by 650% in the coming decades, which could significantly contribute to ozone depletion.
