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

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

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

In 2021, a Starlink satellite and OneWeb spacecraft came dangerously close to colliding in orbit. While both companies’ automated systems detected a potential collision, the incident sparked intense ...

Collisions are a growing concern as junk builds up in space. SpaceX satellites had to perform 50,000 collision avoidance maneuvers in just the first half of 2024 to avoid other spacecraft and debris.

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 ...

The ongoing surge of greenhouse gas emissions in the near-Earth environment could cause dramatic declines in the number of satellites orbiting the planet by the end of the century, a new study has ...

London — The Monday collision between a cargo ship and an oil tanker in the North Sea "has a high risk of being an environmental disaster in really important protected areas," Naomi Tilley ...

Isro has successfully undocked two satellites after their first docking as part of the SpaDex mission, laying the groundwork for multiple future docking attempts. This critical advancement will ...

SAN LEANDRO — A collision between an Amtrak train and a motorcycle Sunday that left the motorcycle passenger dead and the driver critically injured happened after members of a group the cyclists ...
