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

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

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 ...

However, when satellite owners fail to follow disposal protocols for cleaning the orbit or unexpected failures occur, the ...

By the end of the century, a shrinking atmosphere could create a minefield for satellites, like those deployed by SpaceX's ...

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

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

There’s no other way to remove debris,” said study lead author Will ... There are 11,905 satellites circling Earth — 7,356 in low orbit — according to the tracking website Orbiting Now.

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 ...

Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably ...

Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth – it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas ...

Under SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's vision, humans could then land on the Red Planet in 2029, though he admitted 2031 is "more ...
