Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive methodology for optimizing ground impact zones of spent rocket stages based on the integration of geoinformation analysis, remote sensing of Earth, ballistic modeling, and ecosystem sustainability assessment. An information and analytical system (IAS) has been developed and tested, providing automated selection of environmentally sustainable landing points within acceptable dispersion zones. The methodology includes the use of the NDVI, digital terrain models, soil quality assessments, fire hazard assessments, and environmental damage calculations. For the first time, a system for classifying operational-territorial units according to their level of resilience to man-made impacts has been formed. The results suggest the potential for the reduction of the dangerous impact zone under modeled conditions. The system architecture is designed to be scalable and applicable to other spaceports located in continental regions. The presented methodology contributes to the development of an environmentally oriented approach to aerospace infrastructure management.
