A network of space-based lasers could help nudge debris away from collision courses with the ISS, according to new research. Low-Earth orbit is teeming with space junk. This increasingly cluttered ...

A space debris near-miss occurred Friday (Jan. 27) between a defunct rocket body and a dead satellite that passed within about 20 feet (6 meters) of one another.

Using this model proposed by the UMA, it is estimated that space debris would rise by 25,500,000 fragments larger than 1 centimeter, thus increasing the probability of collision and the number of ...

For example, it dodged a piece of Russian space junk in late 2022. But defunct items like the rocket body and satellite can't get out of each other's way. The close call is a stark reminder of how ...

Orbital debris is (nearly) forever, and threatens to render near-Earth space (under 1250 miles, or 2000 km altitude) unusable, and all but impassible. The 2007 Chinese anti-satellite test and the ...

The amount of space debris has not stopped increasing since the first satellite was launched in 1957. The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates that there are more than 131,000,000 useless space ...

Space is getting increasingly crowded and experts are sounding the alarm. In a report , the European Space Agency said around 1,200 pieces of rocket and satellite debris fell back to Earth last year.
