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

Greenhouse gases are doing more than warming our planet — they're reshaping space itself. As emissions cool and shrink the ...

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 ...

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

Nearly half of the artificial satellites in orbit carry a payload. Often, these are in the form of sensors for observation, ...

It is poised to exacerbate the growing problem of space debris, potentially shrinking the usable space for satellite in low Earth orbit, according to a new MIT study. Researchers have calculated ...

Space junk is a "persistent hazard," scientists say. Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth ...

Here's How The problem is that atmospheric density is the only thing that naturally pulls space junk out of orbit. Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t suddenly give way to the vacuum of space but gets ...

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, a new study finds. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the ...
