A New Series Begins: 18 Research Topics That Will Shape the Future of Sustainable Spaceflight

A New Series Begins: 18 Research Topics That Will Shape the Future of Sustainable Spaceflight
Heavy-lift rocket ascending through clouds into space, with multiple engines producing a bright exhaust plume against a star-filled sky.

๐Ÿ”น Which emissions result from rocket engine exhaust?
๐Ÿ”น How do these emissions interact with different layers of the atmosphere?
๐Ÿ”น What happens to materials when rocket stages re-enter the atmosphere?
๐Ÿ”น How can we represent these processes in global climate and chemistry models?
๐Ÿ”น How can future launch systems be designed to reduce their environmental impact?

These questions – and many more – are at the core of the individual research projects within the MSCA Doctoral Network SLICE (๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—–๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜).
