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

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

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 ...

A failed launch left a batch of Starlink satellites in the wrong orbit last year, and it appears that a fragment of one fell ...

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 low-Earth orbit.” They simulated greenhouse gas emissions to analyze their ...

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

Climate change isn’t just warming the planet—it’s reshaping space. As greenhouse gases trap heat in the lower atmosphere, the upper atmosphere cools and contracts, reducing the drag that naturally ...

Rising emissions shrink Earth's thermosphere, weakening drag and trapping space junk in orbit for centuries—threatening ...
