Understanding the Atmospheric Effects of Spacecraft Re-entry

This was posted to the Fediverse. The original post from COSPAR, The Committee on Space Research (COSPAR): can be found here

This is an upcoming workshop looking at the environmental impact of spacecraft reentry in to the Earths Atmosphere.

This workshop will address the impact of spacecraft re-entry on the atmosphere. The aim is to bring together atmospheric chemists and physicists, material experts, the space industry, and international space research related organizations to highlight the gaps in our understanding of the modelling and how we can improve testing to obtain relevant data and suggest appropriate mitigation and regulatory measures. 

This sounds like a fascinating area of research and discussion, as any exploration of space needs to take into account any environmental impacts.

Latest FutureLearn course

I signed up to another FutureLearn course, “Atmospheric Chemistry : Planets and life beyond Earth” a few weeks ago.

Mostly for personal interest, however, parts of this will tie in with the National Curriculum.

This is a 4 hour course, spread over 2 weeks, I took my time to compete this as I had other things to do at the same time.
