A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 74 satellites from California early Saturday morning (March 15), then came back to Earth ...

SpaceX lists the total number of payloads for Transporter-13 as 74, which includes some hosted payloads and a reentry capsule ...

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

Today, more than 10,000 satellites are in low orbit, or up to 1,200 miles from ... Aiming to understand whether the current trajectory is sustainable in the long term, the scientists simulated ...

MIT aerospace engineers have found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the ...

Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions may reduce Earth's satellite capacity by 66% by 2100, as detailed in Nature Sustainability.

The continued release of greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere could increase the longevity of space junk in low Earth orbit, a new paper reveals.

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 ...

But most satellites operate in a zone called “low Earth orbit,” between 200 and 2,000 kilometers up, and can take hundreds to thousands of years to fall. The higher outermost reaches of Earth ...

MIT researchers calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal, oil, gas continues it may reduce the available space for satellites in low Earth orbit by anywhere from one-third to 82 ...
