Short summary
The increase in satellite launches raises the anthropogenic influx of various elements into the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT), comparable to the natural meteoric influx. Aggregation of ice and space debris remnant in the MLT is studied using classical electrostatic approaches. Stable aggregate formation from ice and anthropogenic particle collisions has been established in the MLT region, which is found to be similar to that formed with meteoric smoke particles.
