Learn about the precarious state of satellites orbiting Earth, as greenhouse gas pollution puts them in danger of colliding ...

A failed launch left a batch of Starlink satellites in the wrong orbit last year, and it appears that a fragment of one fell ...

Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites ...

By the end of the century, a shrinking atmosphere could create a minefield for satellites, like those deployed by SpaceX's ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

A new study finds that climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too.

Greenhouse gases are eroding the safe carrying capacity for low Earth orbit, a new study concludes. Moreover, the authors ...

Aerospace engineers found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways that, over time, will reduce the number of satellites that can safely operate there.

A recent MIT study reveals that climate change is exacerbating the accumulation of space debris, potentially reducing satellite capacity in low Earth orbit by up to 82% by century's end. As upper ...

The current state of Earth's climate has no recorded precedent. The consequences of the sheer volume of anthropogenic ...
