The question of accountability looms largest: when debris crashes to the earth, who is responsible and how can they be held accountable? Despite being a critical issue in space governance ...

The higher the re-entry speed, the further debris can spread. Predicting crash sites is extremely difficult. When an object falls from space, its path to Earth isn’t a straight line or even smooth.

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 ...

Pieces of space junk coming from past crashes and rocket parts are putting active satellites at risk. According to Orbiting Now, there are 11,905 satellites circling Earth with 7,356 in low orbit ...

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.

or will be crashed into the ocean. It's estimated that as well as the 2,000 spent rocket bodies floating above the Earth, there are another 32,000 pieces of space junk that are larger than four ...

and his colleagues calculated the likelihood of space debris from rocket launches falling into crowded airspace, which could cause delays or even crashes and casualties. Wright and his colleagues ...

That junk includes results of old space crashes and parts of rockets with most of it too small to be tracked. There are 11,905 satellites circling Earth — 7,356 in low orbit — according to the ...

The explosion released elements heavier than iron—like gold and platinum—through a process known as rapid neutron capture ...
