- ÍtemRevisión de la literatura de la impacto ambiental en la atmósfera del motor de cohete emisiones durante el lanzamiento, vuelo y reentrada(Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores. Sede Bogotá., ) Blanco Camargo, Juan David; Mónico Muñoz, Luisa FernandaThe space technology sector is growing rapidly. This leads to an increase in the number of launches to different orbits with positive repercussions. This, however, raises concerns about the impact on the atmosphere. The pollutant emissions from rocket engines depend on the type of propellant used for launch, but regardless, the products that dominate the emissions are CO2, H2O, black carbon (BC), and alumina. The footprint of these emissions can be measured as radiative forcing or ozone loss. In this work, emissions from liquid, solid, and hybrid propellants are estimated for three different scenarios, projecting them to 5 and 10 years respectively. According to the results, BC and CO2 emissions dominate, however, with a much smaller impact than other industries. Without underestimating these emissions, measures must be taken to regulate this industry in a way that allows its growth and, in turn, cares for the environment.
