LeoLabs, a California-based company, built a radar in eastern Arizona that monitors objects in space, specifically in the ...

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

Scientists are designing a satellite and instruments capable of detecting space debris as small as 1 centimeter, less than one-half inch. Debris that small, which cannot currently be detected from the ...

Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth, according to new research.

The chances of a new Starlink satellite causing a human casualty due to falling debris is '1 in 100 million,' SpaceX explained as the company is de-orbiting hundreds of satellites.
