Commercial Space Vehicle Emissions Modeling 2 Methodology: The commercial space vehicle emissions model calculates the mass of each pollutant emitted into each atmospheric layer. The calculations depend on the following parameters: Engine performance data to estimate the propellant mass flow rate and burn time, Emissions indices to relate the amount of propellant burned to the amount of each pollutant emitted, and Trajectory data to determine the amount of time spent in each atmospheric layer.
