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

The continued release of greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere could increase the longevity of space junk in low Earth ...

Rocket Lab has launched its workhorse Electron rocket for the third time in two weeks. The New Zealand-based company ...

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

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

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.

LEO networks like Starlink are challenging GEO operators, driving innovation as competition, cost pressures, and new ...

For each "shell," or altitude range of interest ... to understand how many satellites in low-Earth orbit can sustain," Parker explains. The team compared several scenarios: one in which greenhouse ...

In the new study, researchers aimed to evaluate the “satellite carrying capacity” of certain altitudes of interest, or “shells", in low Earth orbit by creating simulations of carbon emissions ...

As Earth's orbit is becoming more littered with detritus ... but that takes months or years depending on the altitude." CASSIOPE, or the Cascade Smallsat and Ionospheric Polar Explorer, was ...

Galactic Energy, a private rocket maker in Beijing, conducted a launch of its Ceres 1 rocket on Friday evening, deploying six ...
