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...
