Description

ARA-Atmospheric Re-entry Assessment is the TASinI-led study aimed at the investigation of the potential impacts on the atmosphere and climate, caused by gases and particles released during the re-entry of spacecrafts and rockets.
The study is divided into two phases:
- Phase 1, dedicated to the definition of the substances released in atmosphere during re-entry
- Phase 2, dedicated to the assessment of the atmospheric impact of released substances

The presentation will provide a specific description of Phase 1 (which had been already carried out), at the same time addressing the main features of potential results from Phase 2.
