Space is getting crowded — humans have now placed over 20,000 satellites into orbit since the start of the space age, and ...

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, ...

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

"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 ...

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

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

Climate change could threaten the future use of satellites and significantly reduce the number of spacecraft that can safety orbit Earth, according to new research.

The ongoing surge of greenhouse gas emissions in the near-Earth environment could cause dramatic declines in the number of satellites orbiting the planet by the end of the century, a new study has ...
