Two people sit at a conference table during a United Nations event, with one speaking and gesturing beside a nameplate reading “Eloise Marais, University College London.” Microphones, a water bottle, and a large text panel summarising the discussion topic about the environmental impacts of satellite re‑entry are visible.
What happens to the atmosphere when satellites burn up?
Prof Eloise Marais spoke at a UN event in Vienna on the impacts of satellite re-entry. As space activity grows, metals released may affect the climate and the ozone layer.
