Near-future rocket launches could slow ozone recovery: nature.com/articles/s41612-025 -> A 10-fold increase in rocket #launches would start harming the ozone layer – new research: theconversation.com/a-10-fold-

www.nature.comNear-future rocket launches could slow ozone recovery | npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceRocket emissions thin the stratospheric ozone layer. To understand if significant ozone losses could occur as the launch industry grows, we examine two scenarios. Our ‘ambitious’ scenario (2040 launches/year) yields a −0.29% depletion in annual-mean, near-global total column ozone in 2030. Antarctic springtime ozone decreases by 3.9%. Our ‘conservative’ scenario (884 launches/year) yields −0.17% annual, near-global depletion; current licensing rates suggest this scenario may be exceeded before 2030. Ozone losses are driven by the chlorine produced from solid rocket motor propellant, and black carbon which is emitted from most propellants. The ozone layer is slowly healing from the effects of CFCs, yet global-mean ozone abundances are still 2% lower than measured prior to the onset of CFC-induced ozone depletion. Our results demonstrate that ongoing and frequent rocket launches could delay ozone recovery. Action is needed now to ensure that future growth of the launch industry and ozone protection are mutually sustainable.

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX has failed to establish it was a victim of political bias by a California agency that voted to reject expanding its rocket launches in the state. U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr in Los Angeles said he would dismiss the case because SpaceX had not shown it was harmed by the California Coastal Commission's vote against its plan to expand its rocket launches from the Vandenberg U.S. Space Force Base in Santa Barbara."

"SpaceX is asking federal authorities to approve a new round of tests for a prototype reusable rocket, but some of them may never make it back to the surface intact and will crash in the ocean. The project has received pushback from those who fear the rocket’s scatters debris will threaten protected marine habitats near #Hawaii."
