Researchers used a pair of powerful supercomputers to simulate the potential trajectories of 1 million satellites in a ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory creates a cislunar orbit map to help predict satellite stability and improve collision avoidance in increasingly crowded Earth orbits.

Could we prevent in-orbit crashes in the future by using advanced computer models?

Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new way to design Earth-observation satellite missions that could help protect the space environment while continuing to deliver vital data ...

SpaceX has asked the FCC to approve a constellation of space-based data centers for AI training, a move that could overwhelm orbit and redefine what ‘infrastructure’ means in space. Low Earth orbit is ...

By Shreepoorna S Rao For the last thirty years, most of the world’s Earth data has come from satellites. That architecture made sense when the primary use case was global mapping, weather, and ...

The time between tracking failure and satellite collision has dropped to days, showing how fragile low Earth orbit has become.

Planned launch of 500,000 satellites could spoil about one in three Hubble images, even when the telescope stays above Earth's weather.

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

Look up on a clear night, and you might catch a strange kind of light show. A glowing streak of light, moving slower than a meteor, disintegrates piece by piece. That’s not a comet or a shooting star ...

The first wave of Starlink satellites are reaching the end of their five-year lifespans and burning up in droves. Joe Supan is a senior writer for CNET covering home technology, broadband, and moving.

The idea of waging war in orbit is no longer a figment of science fiction. As satellite technologies and launch capabilities ...
