Here’s a look at the International Space Station (ISS), a station operated by a partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries. Information on ISS crews and expeditions can be found here.

The International Space Station (ISS) is set to be decommissioned by 2031, marking the end of a pivotal chapter in global ...

“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 ...

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 ...

That’s because space will become more littered with debris as climate change lessens nature’s way of cleaning it up. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the air near Earth’s surface also cools ...

People rely on a strong atmosphere to eventually pull down dead satellites and other orbiting debris ... parts of space, sort of like a road closure after a highway pileup. At this point, humans ...

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. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the ...

Vital services including internet access, weather forecasts and navigation could be put at risk by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as growing space debris, a report has found.

Space junk is a "persistent hazard," scientists say. Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth ...

But space is getting ... pulls space junk out of orbit. Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t suddenly give way to the vacuum of space but gets dramatically thinner at a point known as the Kármán ...

Less drag therefore means extended lifetimes for space junk, which will litter sought-after regions for decades and increase the potential for collisions in orbit. The team carried out simulations ...

“Minutes after take-off, contact was lost with the spacecraft, and debris was subsequently observed streaming over The Bahamas. “The Bahamas has no regulatory authority under The Bahamas’ Civil ...
