The European Space Agency's short documentary film "Space Debris: Is it a Crisis?" on the state of space debris premiered at ...

Two NASA astronauts have splashed down off the coast of Florida after spending more than nine months stuck in space.

CCleaner Premium includes all the great features of Professional Plus but allows installation on up to five devices and adds Premium customer support. It also comes with Kamo — an online privacy, anti ...

As global warming continues, the upper atmosphere will cool and become less dense, reducing the force which usually pulls space debris back to Earth and cluttering the orbit. MIT researchers ...

Earth’s orbit is absolutely littered with space ... junk. Atmospheric stripping would cause more radiation to make it through Earth’s atmosphere, changing the planet exponentially. Image ...

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 ...

But as the atmosphere becomes less dense, it reduces drag on space debris, allowing it to linger in orbit for longer — and extending the lifespan it has to crash into other objects. Collisions ...

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 ...

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 ...

Less drag therefore means extended lifetimes for space junk, which will litter sought-after regions for decades and increase the potential for collisions in orbit. The team carried out simulations ...

DEBRIS from a SpaceX Starship rocket that broke ... include launching satellites or bringing cargo to the International Space Station, with a long track record of success. The Starship is a ...
