EULIAA results at ESA Sustainability Workshop

EULIAA partners from IAP and Fraunhofer ILT contributed to the ESA Sustainability Workshop at ESA HQ in Paris, focusing on sustainable space transportation.
They presented lidar measurements of rocket‑propellant aerosols throughout the atmosphere during a launch at Andøya Space, highlighting the largely unknown impacts of launch activities on the 70–100 km region and the ozone layer.
The same technology also has potential to detect material from burnt‑up space debris; ESA supports related work on Alexandrite lasers within an OSIP activity.
