The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

RÉSUMÉ

Three independent studies regarding the environmental impacts of testing and launching rockets were published in the 1991−1992 time frame. Each of these studies concluded that these impacts are quite minor. Since these studies were published, there has been additional work in exhaust cloud modeling, ozone depletion predicted by atmospheric models, and in alternate propellant development.
This paper discusses the conclusions of the three earlier studies in light of the most recent data. The long term impact of launching nine Shuttles and three Titan IV rockets annually is predicted to be a global stratospheric ozone depletion of 0.006 - 0.02 percent. Local and regional effects are predicted to be higher.
While a considerable amount of work has been done to understand the impacts of rockets on the environment near the launch site, one of the potentially toxic species produced in the atmosphere during a rocket launch, NO2, has been given little treatment. Recent calculations show that NO2 produced from afterburning and atmospheric oxidation of some liquid rocket exhaust clouds may be of comparable toxicity to HCl plus NO2 from some solid rockets.
