Engineering needs (technical feasibility)

  • Requires long-lasting spacecraft that can withstand radiation damage (Angel 2006).
  • Would need to regularly update spacecraft to avoid failure of fleet and subsequent termination shock.
  • Need to reduce launch rate to reduce amount of water vapor and nitrous oxide production, which argues for construction of solar shield elements in space (Roy 2022), such an approach needs development.

Environmental risks / benefits

  • More climate modeling needed to understand the impacts of sunshades, particularly in regard to uneven changes in temperature and rainfall (Baum et al. 2022).

Social risks / benefits

Version published: 
  • How to integrate private sector into efforts (Baum et al. 2022), given the large presence of the private sector in space.
  • Need assessment of societal risks and benefits including community engagement.
