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

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 ...

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

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

Collisions are a growing risk as space gets more crowded, and greenhouse gas emissions could make things worse. Greenhouse ...

When fiery debris from SpaceX Starships rained down across the Atlantic, air traffic controllers scrambled to delay takeoffs ...

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

There is a 26 percent chance every year that an out-of-control rocket will fall through busy airspace, researchers calculate.
