Space Junk Crisis: Experts Call for Immediate Action to Avoid Orbital Disaster
Rising space debris in low Earth orbit is raising concerns among scientists, who warn of potential catastrophic collisions. Experts at the AGU meeting highlighted that unregulated satellite launches and growing orbital debris are depleting shared space resources. Urgent global efforts are needed to prevent the Kessler syndrome, which could make Ear...

ISS Successfully Executes Collision Avoidance Maneuver Amid Rising Space Junk Threat
The International Space Station (ISS) conducted its 39th collision avoidance maneuver to evade space debris from a 2015 satellite breakup. The adjustment in orbit prevented a potential close encounter within 2.5 miles of the ISS. Experts attribute increasing debris risks to factors such as satellite fragmentation events and solar activity. Measures...

Space Debris Accumulation in the Stratosphere Threatens Major Environmental Risks
The growing presence of satellite space junk, as more satellites enter Earth's orbit, has raised concerns about environmental impacts. Pollution from burnt-up satellites contributes to changes in atmospheric chemistry, with metals like aluminium potentially harming the ozone layer. Scientists warn that satellite re-entries are contributing to a ris...

Scientists Calculate the Risk of Someone Being Killed by Space Junk
Space debris has been known to cause injury and damage to property, even though no one is known to have died from an accident involving “space junk”. However, with the increasing number of satellites, rockets and probes being launched into space, researchers have investigated the risk of someone being killed by space debris. Here’s what they ...

Space 'code of conduct' will tackle issues of falling debris
The United States pledged to join an EU-led effort to develop a space "code of conduct" that would set rules for orbiting spacecraft and for mitigating the growing problem of orbiting debris. "The long-term sustainability of our space environment is at serious risk from space debris and irresponsible actors," said a statement from Secretary of Sta...

Russian spacecraft to crash soon, risks unclear
A Russian space probe designed to burnish the nation's faded space glory in a mission to one of Mars' moons has turned into one of the heaviest, most toxic pieces of space junk ever.
