The new study found there's a 26% chance the threat of space junk could shut down a crowded airspace in Europe, Asia or North ...

Some high-density airspace regions could have as high as a 26% of being affected by an uncontrolled rocket body reentry.

On February 4, 1995, astronauts aboard the space shuttle Discovery launched an itty bitty satellite called an Orbital Debris ...

Space junk is a major threat with millions of debris pieces now in orbit. Risks range from minor collisions reducing the ...

As more space junk is falling to Earth uncontrolled, scientists are using seismometers to track the debris.

Did you see it? Some in the western suburbs of Chicago Tuesday, including Yorkville and Wadsworth, reported seeing objects ...

This rapid increase in satellites that no longer serve a purpose will require new methods to deal with them - most commonly through other satellites known as on-orbit servicers (OOSs). Depending on ...

There are billions of pieces of space junk orbiting Earth, and more than 25,000 of those ... constellation spacecraft), adapted for different orbital regions (e.g., LEO, MEO, GEO), for different ...

exponentially increasing the amount of space junk. Over time, the density of debris could grow so high that the use of satellites and other orbital technologies becomes impossible. This would have ...

Orbital space is a finite resource ... New technology alone isn’t enough to fix the space junk problem—we’ll need legal reform, too. The current global space policy is a patchwork of ...
