“When a #satellite demises, it's still there in the #atmosphere in the form of small particles of #aluminum, and we don’t know what these particles actually do in the atmosphere.” Most of this destruction happens at altitudes between 60 and 80 kilometers—too high for balloons 🎈 and planes to reach, but too low for satellites to sample.

Above 30 km is too high for #balloons 🎈and too low for #satellites 🛰️. Some researchers refer to it as the ignore-o-sphere 🙈. We know it has large implications on #climate models and #weather models.https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/a-new-zealand-company-has-started-flying-a-rocket-powered-spaceplane/
