Greenhouse gases are doing more than warming our planet — they're reshaping space itself. As emissions cool and shrink the ...

Magdrive is working on three versions of its space thrusters, and because they run on solid metal, they might one day even be powered by space junk collected directly in orbit, turning it from threat ...

Currently, around 11,900 satellites are orbiting Earth, providing essential services such as internet connection, ...

The thermosphere extends from about 90 km to 500 km above Earth's surface. While conditions in the thermosphere are hellish, ...

Satellite operators need better space weather models to maximize the life of their satellites and to avoid collisions in low ...

Climate change isn’t just warming the planet—it’s reshaping space. As greenhouse gases trap heat in the lower atmosphere, the ...

"Our behavior with greenhouse gases here on Earth over the past 100 years is having an effect on how we operate satellites ...

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

By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...

New research finds that greenhouse gas emissions are cooling and contracting the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag on ...

Dodging this minefield is already a headache for satellite operators, and it’s poised to get ... we are increasing the ...

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 ...
