A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pile up—causing ripple effects across everything from ...

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

His theory is that once space debris reaches a critical mass, collisions will trigger a chain reaction generating even more ...

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 ...

Aerospace engineers 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 safely operate there.

"The light show was completely silent — we didn’t hear anything. But the reflection on the water from the burning debris was ...

By the end of the century, a shrinking atmosphere could create a minefield for satellites, like those deployed by SpaceX's ...

It is poised to exacerbate the growing problem of space debris, potentially shrinking the usable space for satellite in low Earth orbit, according to a new MIT study. Researchers have calculated ...

Flaming space debris was seen raining down off Florida’s coast on Thursday night after SpaceX’s latest Starship launch ended with another explosion.

This was Starship’s eighth flight test and follows a failed flight in January. The spacecraft is essential to Elon Musk’s ...

Fortunately, the risk of space debris is not an everyday occurrence, but it is becoming a more common event than you might think. In the first two and a half months of 2025, there were at least ...
