The US Space Force has accused China of "dogfighting in space," a term that usually refers to fighter jets caught up in an ...

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

The growing release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere could pose a serious threat to the future of space operations, ...

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

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

The thermosphere extends from about 90 km to 500 km above Earth's surface. While conditions in the thermosphere are hellish, ...

Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites ...

In the new study, researchers aimed to evaluate the “satellite carrying capacity” of certain altitudes of interest, or “shells", in low Earth orbit by creating simulations of carbon emissions ...

The consequences of the sheer volume of anthropogenic greenhouse emissions on low Earth orbit has not been explored in detail ...

Climate change, often associated with its effects on Earth, could well impact the space near our planet. A recent study ...

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

Aerospace engineers found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways that, over time, will reduce the number of satellites that can safely operate there.
