Two scientists have developed an innovative technique that analyzes data collected by terrestrial seismic sensors to monitor the reentry of space debris fragments, a growing issue. They demonstrated ...

Networks of seismometers pick up on vibrations of debris to map their trajectory on Earth.

L ast February, debris from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket set the skies of Europe ablaze before crashing down to Earth in Poland, ...

When large satellites crash to Earth, we have so far been largely blind to their trajectory. This could change thanks to technology from earthquake research.

Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—pose a risk to humans when they fall to ...

Old satellites and other space junk fall toward Earth every day, and the shock waves they create could be used to track their ...

Space debris is becoming an overwhelming problem. With operators increasingly sending satellites and other ...

Researchers present a novel way to track errant space debris as it falls to Earth in near-real-time, according to a new study. Their method uses ground-based seismic sensors. Over the last several ...

As global numbers of space launches relentlessly skyrocket, so, too, does the amount of dangerous space debris that reenters ...

Key market opportunities include increasing demand for advanced debris removal tech and AI-driven collision avoidance, rising investments in space traffic management, and international collaborations ...
