NASA's upcoming plans for the ISS include a controlled descent into the ocean by 2030, but concerns about environmental impacts persist among researchers.
Schulz expressed concern over the ISS's reentry, noting its large mass could exacerbate atmospheric issues, contributing to harmful substance release during its demise.
Research indicates that satellite reentries release pollutants like aluminum oxides, potentially causing significant ozone layer depletion, raising alarms about the ISS's eventual descent.
Given the ISS's mass, its reentry might inject considerable harmful substances, prompting further study into its potential environmental consequences during and after deorbit.
