the weight of evidence
2 sources for · 0 against

The retrieved evidence indicates that rocket launches generate carbon emissions such as CO2 and black carbon, and mentions optimizations involving payload mass, but does not provide specific quantitative evidence establishing substantial carbon emissions or energy consumption relative to payload mass.

O setor de tecnologia espacial está crescendo rapidamente. Isto leva a um aumento do número de lançamentos para diferentes órbitas com repercussões positivas. Isto, no entanto, levanta preocupações quanto ao impacto sobre a atmosfera. As emissões poluentes dos motores de foguetes dependem do tipo de propelente utilizado para o lançamento, mas independentemente disso, os produtos que dominam as emissões são CO2, H2O, black carbon (BC), e alumina. A pegada destas emissões pode ser medida como forçamento radiativo ou perda de ozônio. Neste trabalho, as emissões de propelentes líquidos, sólidos e híbridos são estimadas para três cenários diferentes, projetando-as para 5 e 10 anos, respectivamente. De acordo com os resultados, as emissões de BC e CO2 dominam, entretanto, com um impacto muito menor do que outras indústrias. Sem subestimar estas emissões, devem ser tomadas medidas para regular esta indústria de forma a permitir seu crescimento e, por sua vez, cuidar do meio ambiente.

Clusters of similar hybrid rocket engines, with only few differences, are employed in all stages to reduce the development and operational costs of the launcher. Optimization is carried out with the aim of maximizing the payload mass and then minimizing the overall environmental impact of the launch. The results show that satisfactory performance is achievable also considering rocket polluting emissions: the carbon footprint of the launch can be reduced by one fourth at the cost of a 5-kg payload mass reduction.
