A new ESA documentary reveals the alarming truth about space debris, with 70% of launched satellites still in orbit. Could our reliance on satellite technology lead to a catastrophic crisis in space?
A new MIT study reveals that climate change will significantly increase space debris, reducing available satellite space in low Earth orbit by up to 82% by the century's end. As the atmosphere cools, it becomes less effective at pulling debris down, leading to a crowded orbital environment.
