Climate Change Is Shrinking Space for Satellites to Orbit
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas emissions are shrinking the thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag and allowing space debris to linger longer,
How global warming could threaten satellites, according to new study
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 ...
Climate Change Threatens to Increase Space Debris, Study Finds
A new study warns that climate change, already posing significant challenges on Earth, could soon worsen the problem of debris in low Earth orbit, potentially reducing available space for satellites.
Climate change, already causing problems on Earth, could soon create a mess for orbiting satellites
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 orbit around the planet too.
Study says climate change will even make Earth's orbit a mess
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. MIT researchers calculated that as global warming caused by burning of coal,
Scientists Highlight Surprising New Threat to Satellites: Climate Change
By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new study.
Climate change is shrinking Earth’s atmosphere - and that’s bad for satellites
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably operate.
