A new study from MIT found that climate change will make space junk pileup—causing ripple effects across everything from ...

A small space private capsule has captured stunning onboard scenes from its high-velocity atmospheric reentry. Varda Space's ...

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

when it explained that aerobraking would allow the space plane to use the drag of Earth's atmosphere to adjust its orbit while using minimal fuel. Now that the maneuvers have been successfully ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered into the atmosphere of a cosmic body that could be a rogue planet or a "failed star." Either way, the world wanders the cosmos ...

Operators follow a 25-year rule: at this point, a satellite’s mission is deemed to have ended and it is lowered into the atmosphere where gravity and friction kicks in. While this helps clear space, ...

A coordinated approach to greenhouse gas reduction is needed to prevent long-term impacts on space sustainability. Currently more than 8,000 satellites are orbiting at altitudes of between 300 and ...

Space Force announced that the secretive craft would be executing a series of "aerobraking" maneuvers, which would alter its trajectory in orbit by passing through the Earth's upper atmosphere to ...

It is widely believed that Earth's atmosphere has been rich in oxygen for about 2.5 billion years due to a relatively rapid ...
