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

A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pileup—causing ripple effects across everything from ...

As Earth's orbit becomes populated with more crafts and devices, researchers are looking for ways to detect and track ...

As global warming continues, researchers are warning that there will be problems for satellites in low Earth orbit.

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 ...

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

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 wreaking havoc on Earth – but soon it will even be messing up its orbit, scientists have revealed. It is poised to exacerbate the growing problem of space debris, potentially ...

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 ...

As a result, far fewer satellites will be able to safely operate in near-Earth space in the coming decades, with local space debris emergencies likely to become a norm, a new study suggests.
