Study shows how rocket launches pollute the atmosphere

A new study published in Ars Technica highlights the pollution caused by rocket launches, particularly from SpaceX's Falcon rocket disintegration in 2025. The study reveals that debris from the rocket injected toxic and climate-altering byproducts into the upper atmosphere, raising concerns about the growing atmospheric footprint of spaceflight. The research suggests that without global monitoring and collaboration, the rising demand for satellite launches will accelerate pollution risks in the shared space environment.
