By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...
Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas ...
Greenhouse gases are doing more than warming our planet — they're reshaping space itself. As emissions cool and shrink the ...
In a mission designed to challenge longstanding theories about the upper atmosphere, NASA is preparing to launch three ...
Three NASA-funded rockets are set to launch from Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska, in an experiment that seeks ...
An atmospheric layer of special interest is the thermosphere, where the International Space Station and most satellites orbit today. When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces ...
The researchers found that the contraction of the thermosphere — the atmospheric layer where the International Space Station orbits today — causes a plunge in density, leading to ripple effects.

Researchers found that greenhouse gases cause the upper atmosphere to contract, particularly the thermosphere, which is the region where the International Space Station and most satellites orbit.
When the thermosphere contracts, the decreasing density reduces atmospheric drag— a force that pulls old satellites and other debris down to altitudes where they will encounter air molecules and ...
