Climate Change Is Shrinking Space

Climate Change Is Shrinking Space For Satellites To Orbit
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth – it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,
Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds
Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites more vulnerable to damage, according to new research
Climate change is shrinking Earth’s atmosphere - and that’s bad for satellites
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.
Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites
A new study finds that 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.
Climate change may reduce the number of satellites that can safely orbit in space
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 operate there.
How Climate Change Is Making Satellites More Dangerous To Earth
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that climate change is weakening Earth’s atmospheric friction, increasing the risk that falling satellites won’t burn up completely before reaching the surface.
Climate Change Is Making Space More Hazardous for Satellites
Greenhouse gas emissions are altering not just Earth's climate but also the environment of space. For decades, climate change research has focused on the troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere closest to the planet’s surface.
