• Climate change keeps space debris afloat longer

  According to a new study by the British Antarctic Survey, increasing levels of carbon dioxide reduce the density of the upper atmosphere, meaning that objects orbiting close to Earth face less drag and stay afloat longer. That may be good news for satellite operators, who have lately seen their satellites dropping down faster than ever because of worsening space weather. On the other hand, defunct satellites and space debris objects that are slowly making their way down through the atmosphere will keep cluttering their orbits longer.
