Do satellites really have that much of an impact where they could potentially cool down the earth?

MIT did a study Study: Reflecting sunlight to cool the planet will cause other global changes
But it talks about aerosols in the air. So maybe burning them up the aluminum particles would be reflective aerosols?
A satellite reflecting sun back into space is probably very small amount of change, but with 30k maybe it adds up, I don't know.
