English: Listing of essential considerations for the sustainable development of Earth's orbital space activities. Bright satellite megaconstellations disrupt the natural night sky affecting astronomy, astrophotography, and cultural significance. De-orbiting satellites add pollutants like aluminum to the atmosphere impacting climate and circulation. The launch of rockets releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the upper atmosphere, which can contribute to climate change. Rocket emissions can also alter the composition of the stratosphere, potentially affecting the ozone layer and regional climate patterns. Radio frequencies and electromagnetic radiation for communication can potentially interfere with sensitive ecological systems and wildlife navigation and migration. Space asset development relies on Earth mining for rare minerals, which can result in habitat destruction, soil erosion, pollution, and water source contamination. The unequal distribution of benefits from space activities can exacerbate social and economic inequalities among different populations and nations.
