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

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

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 ...

According to the nonprofit Aerospace Corporation, the lowest orbiting debris takes only a few months to get dragged down. But most satellites operate in a zone called “low Earth orbit ...

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.

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 ...

A new study finds that as global warming continues it may reduce the available space for satellites in low Earth orbit by ...
