As global warming continues, researchers are warning that there will be problems for satellites in low Earth orbit.

Satellite-debris collisions have the potential to destroy not just one or two but many satellites, preventing the use of those orbits for years. Although de-orbiting satellites at a faster pace may be ...

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

Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the ...

The Space Foundation, in partnership with L3Harris and Pueblo Community College, will be hosting the "Space in the Community" ...

There are tens of thousands of plum-sized pieces of space junk that hit with the power of a crashing bus, according to The Aerospace Corporation, which monitors orbital debris. That junk includes ...

Hypervelocity impacts from space debris pose significant risks to spacecraft and satellites in outer space. To address this ...

Space debris or orbital debris, also called space junk and space waste, are the objects in orbit around Earth created by man that no longer serve any useful purpose.

Payloads carrying cremated human remains, research technology for the nation’s spy satellite agency, and spacecraft to ...

First, statistical limitations in current space debris collision models prevent accurate assessments of intentional weaponized attacks on satellites and other orbital assets. Current models ...
