Climate Change Is Shrinking Space

How climate change could make Earth's space junk problem even worse
"Our behavior with greenhouse gases here on Earth over the past 100 years is having an effect on how we operate satellites over the next 100 years."
Climate change is shrinking Earth’s atmosphere - and that’s bad for satellites
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.
Climate Change Is Shrinking Space For Satellites To Orbit
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth – it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,
Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites
A new study finds that climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too.
Climate change could be threatening satellites as they orbit in space: Study
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
Climate change will affect the lifespan of space debris
Climate change will affect the lifespan of space debris A recently published study shows that future climate change could have an unexpected impact on the safety of satellites sent into space. To mitigate the growing risk of collisions,
How Climate Change Is Making Satellites More Dangerous To Earth
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that climate change is weakening Earth’s atmospheric friction, increasing the risk that falling satellites won’t burn up completely before reaching the surface.
‘Space junk’ is clogging the atmosphere—and it’s going to make weather forecasts and internet access much worse
A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pile up—causing ripple effects across everything from ...
Arizona radar site detecting satellite debris in space
LeoLabs, a California-based company, built a radar in eastern Arizona that monitors objects in space, specifically in the ...
How global warming could threaten satellites, according to new study
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.
Space collisions could become a bigger risk thanks to greenhouse gas pollution
Collisions are a growing risk as space gets more crowded, and greenhouse gas emissions could make things worse. Greenhouse ...

Power of persistence: Australian technology addresses challenge of space monitoring
Knowing what is going on in orbit is getting harder—yet hardly less necessary. But new technologies are emerging to cope with ...
The Surprising Link Between CO2 Levels and Satellite Collisions
Climate change isn’t just warming the planet—it’s reshaping space. As greenhouse gases trap heat in the lower atmosphere, the ...
