Description
The number of rocket launches reached a new record in 2023 for the third year in a row. At the same time, humanity must take care not to destroy the foundations of life on Earth that have enabled it to develop.
In order to provide climate and ozone models with data sets on emission profiles, a tool is being developed that calculates the emissions from rocket launches and re-entries of upper stages and assigns them to a place and time based on launch and re-entry trajectories.
Depending on the selected propellants and structural material, this enables the user to estimate the environmental impact of their activities
