The rapid expansion of low Earth orbit satellites is fueling concerns about ozone layer depletion. In January, around 120 SpaceX Starlink satellites burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, creating artificial meteor showers. While these displays may look stunning, scientists warn that the re-entry of satellites releases aluminum oxide particles, which could pose a long-term risk to …

Space debris is becoming an increasing concern for air travel, according to new research. The risk of falling space debris colliding with aircraft is growing as both the frequency of space reentries and airline flights continue to rise. Although the likelihood of such an event is low, the potential consequences could be catastrophic. Increasing Risk …

The Kessler Syndrome is no longer just a theoretical risk; it’s a pressing issue. This concept, introduced by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, describes a potential chain reaction where space debris collides, generating more debris and escalating future collision risks. With our growing dependence on satellites for communication, navigation, and observation, the consequences …
