By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...
Greenhouse gases are doing more than warming our planet — they're reshaping space itself. As emissions cool and shrink the ...
Parker and his colleagues set out to close this knowledge gap. They used atmospheric modeling to determine the satellite load ...
Climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space, which could limit the number of satellites that can reliably ...
MIT aerospace engineers have 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 sustainably ...
The ongoing surge of greenhouse gas emissions in the near-Earth environment could cause dramatic declines in the number of satellites orbiting the planet by the end of the century, a new study has ...
The thermosphere extends from about 90 km to 500 km above Earth's surface. While conditions in the thermosphere are hellish, ...
A shrinking thermosphere means less drag, which could hinder the natural removal of space debris impacting satellites, as per ...
Scientists have warned that greenhouse gas emissions will result in less space junk being burned up – and more debris ...
