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

Today's mission, which Rocket Lab calls "The Lightning God Reigns," successfully sent the QPS-SAR-9 satellite to a circular ...

The satellite is safely on its way to geostationary orbit, but one of the rocket's four strap-on side boosters fell to Earth in a populated ... stages of the rocket fall on land, whereas most ...

The key is to fly very low indeed ...

MIT researchers simulated different greenhouse gas emission scenarios and their impact on the “satellite carrying capacity of ...

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

For a functional satellite, this means altitude corrections are required; so less drag is a good thing. On the other hand, ...

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

A pioneering European satellite is due to fall to Earth in the coming days. ERS-2 was a cutting-edge observation platform when it launched in 1995, forging technologies that are now used routinely to ...
