"Risks of Satellite Megaconstellations on Earth's Environment"

The increasing number of rocket stages and satellites burning up in the Earth's atmosphere is leaving behind metal aerosols that could potentially affect the Earth's magnetic field. Research suggests that these aerosols, originating from space objects, may increase the Debye length of the ionosphere, but the exact effects are still unknown. With the growing number of objects being launched into space, including satellite constellations like Starlink, the potential impact on the stratosphere and ionosphere warrants further research to understand and mitigate any potential consequences.
