Climate Change, Earth and orbit

Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds
Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites more vulnerable to damage, according to new research
Study says climate change will even make Earth’s orbit a mess
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.
Sky fall: MIT study predicts satellite traffic jams, collisions due to climate change
A shrinking thermosphere means less drag, which could hinder the natural removal of space debris impacting satellites, as per MIT.
Climate change is shrinking Earth’s atmosphere - and that’s bad for satellites
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.
Climate change could be threatening satellites as they orbit in space: Study
The ongoing surge of greenhouse gas emissions in the near-Earth environment could cause dramatic declines in the number of satellites orbiting the planet by the end of the century, a new study has
Climate change may reduce the number of satellites that can safely orbit in space
MIT aerospace engineers have 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 sustainably operate there.
Now climate change can impact space satellites, study claims
The sky is quite literally falling,” the author of a recent study and MIT graduate said over alleged changes in the earth’s atmosphere. Human-induced greenhouse gas emissions […]
Climate Change Is Shrinking Space for Satellites to Orbit
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,
How Climate Change Is Making Satellites More Dangerous To Earth
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that climate change is weakening Earth’s atmospheric friction, increasing the risk that falling satellites won’t burn up completely before reaching the surface.
Climate Change Is Making Space More Hazardous for Satellites
Greenhouse gas emissions are altering not just Earth's climate but also the environment of space. For decades, climate change research has focused on the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere closest to the planet’s surface.
