A43AA-2259: Proposed Representative Emission Pathways for Spaceflight Impacts Assessment
Models of the global atmosphere that are used to assess how emissions from rocket launches and space debris reentries affect the atmosphere require standardized emission scenarios in order to compare model results and understand how different industry choices affect the future atmosphere. We present a preliminary set of Representative Emission Pathways (REPs) that describe emissions for various space industry growth and development scenarios to be used as standard inputs to atmosphere models.
