which monitors orbital debris. That junk includes results of old space crashes and parts of rockets with most of it too small to be tracked. There are 11,905 satellites circling Earth — 7,356 in low ...

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

According to the nonprofit Aerospace Corporation, the lowest orbiting debris takes only a few months to get dragged down. But most satellites operate in a zone called “low Earth orbit,” between 200 ...

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

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

Climate change, often associated with its effects on Earth, could well impact the space near our planet. A recent study reveals that greenhouse gas emissions risk significantly reducing the ...

Space is getting crowded — humans have now placed over 20,000 satellites into orbit since the start of the space age, and ...
