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

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

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 ...

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...

That test will rely on a magnetic plate to connect the Astroscale ... there are another 32,000 pieces of space junk that are larger than four inches across. The task of removing all this trash ...

A new study warns that the future could bring a sharp increase in space debris as satellites start to get stuck in Earth’s orbit because of climate change. The study, recently published in Nature ...

As global warming continues, the upper atmosphere will cool and become less dense, reducing the force which usually pulls space debris back to Earth and cluttering the orbit. MIT researchers ...

The direction to a piece of space debris would be determined by an on-board sensor that simultaneously measures electric and magnetic wave fields to detect signals emanating from the space object.

The Tokyo-based startup developing space debris removal technologies added that it plans to start removing "space junk" from orbit by the end of March 2028. "We want to realize a service to refuel ...

Floridians across the coast witnessed flaming space debris falling from the sky. So, what would happen if a piece of a rocket, or a satellite, or even an asteroid hit your home or car? It is rare ...
