This is a truly important achievement, but there are also concerns about the negative effects on the environment and the ozone layer. As stated here A team led by University College London found that black carbon particles emitted from rockets are higher than all other sources of soot in the atmosphere combined. found that it was almost 500 times stronger. The team points out that this situation may further increase global warming. Dr Eloise Marais, one of the participants in the study, said the following in her statement on this subject: “Rocket launches are compared to greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from the aircraft industry. Soot particles from rocket launches have a much greater impact than aircraft and other Earth-bound sources. “What we really need now is a conversation among experts on the best strategy for regulating this rapidly growing industry.”
With the insertion of the F9 second stage into parking orbit, the launch becomes international designation 2023-200, the first time the count of orbital launches for a year has reached the 200 mark.
