1 Introduction Rocket launches lofting payloads to orbit inject gases and particulates into the atmosphere, including the stratosphere (approximately 15–50 km), where the ozone layer resides. Stratospheric ozone absorbs harmful solar UV-B radiation and is thus essential for protection of the biosphere. In the troposphere, emission products are quickly removed by mixing, precipitation, and/or chemical oxidation.
