Abstract
For proper evaluation of data received during the ecological monitoring of space-rocket activities it is necessary to take into account the natural variability of the chemical properties of soils common for the territories used for landing of launch vehicles’ separated parts. The paper presents the results of the soil-geochemical studies in mountain tundra in the Altai Republic which have been carried out in the impact zone where launch vehicles’ second stages fall. Based on the data obtained during the research and the results of laboratory experimental investigations the ecological buffer capacity of soils in relation to the rocket fuel has been quantified for one of the monitoring sites.
