A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pileup—causing ripple effects across everything from weather tracking to broadband internet to national defense. A photo ...

As emissions cool and shrink the thermosphere, satellites experience less drag, allowing more space junk to linger in orbit. With thousands of new satellites launching every year, this congestion ...

As global warming continues, the upper atmosphere will cool and become less dense, reducing the force which usually pulls space debris back to Earth and cluttering the orbit. MIT researchers ...

Mar. 13, 2025 — Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's ...

DDPG-based robotic trajectory planning for space debris detumbling using eddy currents and a 6-DOF manipulator.

"This milestone confirms that our space station design is technically sound and safe for astronaut crewed operations." The Starlab commercial space station project is moving toward the production ...

“There’s a lot of objects in space; satellites, pieces of debris from satellites that have either hit each other or broken up. There are tens of thousands of objects just in low earth orbit ...

A Korean restaurant in Mesa and an African eatery in Phoenix are among the restaurants that made this week's Dirty Dining list. Phoenix police say Rafael Montoya, 22, was knocked unconscious ...

Mar. 12, 2025 — New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these ...

to astronauts watching as snow-like coolant from their shuttle whipped past the window following a collision with some space debris. Now, Butch Wilmore and Suni Wilmore join the leagues of ...

The virtual winding structure, as a novel alternative, can quickly separate each harmonic by vector space decoupling transformation. However, past studies have often assumed that the virtual winding ...
