NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

The current state of Earth's climate has no recorded precedent. The consequences of the sheer volume of anthropogenic ...

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 ...

Satellites are designed to gradually lose altitude due to drag ... This makes the environment in low Earth orbit more ...

If low-Earth orbit satellites are problematic ... disappointed that OneWeb decided to keep their satellites at a higher altitude, whereas SpaceX have been more willing to keep their satellites ...

For each "shell," or altitude range of interest ... to understand how many satellites in low-Earth orbit can sustain," Parker explains. The team compared several scenarios: one in which greenhouse ...

To actually get a satellite into orbit, it needs to ... the three primary orbital altitudes it's launched to. For example, if it's still relatively close to the Earth's surface, around 200 to ...

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

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 ...
