What are the Co2 emissions of the rockets used to launch the satellites?

Question

that allow you to watch Live Earth on t.v. or the internet?

Answer 1

The amount for each launch can be more than a long distance flight by a large airliner, but because in all the world there is only about one rocket launched to orbit a week (with only about 1 or 2 a year being for TV satellites), the amount is tiny compared to the millions of cars and thousands of airplanes operating every day.

And if the rocket used is a Delta 4 medium or heavy (but not medium+), there is no CO2 released because the those rockets use no solid rocket boosters and all the liquid fuel is hydrogen, which produces an exhaust of pure water vapor.

Answer 2

Solid fuel is primarily aluminum and ammonium perchlorate with a small fraction of organic binder. The Space Scuttle main engines are hydrogen/oxygen as are other high impulse rocket engines. Look up the fuel loads for kerosene/oxygen rockets and do the obvious.

The real fun is from the solid fuel boosters. They pump immense quantities of chlorine species plus nitrogen oxides directly into the stratosphere, destroying the Ozone Layer. If it weren't for high-flying civilian aviation, military aviation, and solid fuel space boosters the Ozone Hole would be but a memory - and Enviro-whiners would starve.

Answer 3

There is a little from the solid rocket motor but after they switch to the liquid rocket motor there is only water vapor . They use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

Answer 4

Why don't you find a nice hobby and or a girl friend or mate, go to a bar and get plastered....maybe then your comical character would give us a glimpse of what you're capable of writing. So far very lame indeed.

Answer 5

your question is not true
