Brown and colleagues raise the interesting question: what is the carrying capacity of the Earth's resources, especially the biological resources? Biologists and agriculturalists have long been able to ...

By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...

Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases decrease the atmosphere's ability to devour space junk, a new study finds.

Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking due to climate change and one of the possible negative impacts is that space junk will stay in orbit for longer, bonk into other bits of space junk, and make so ...

Climate change isn’t just affecting Earth, it’s reshaping space as well. A new MIT study reveals that rising greenhouse gas ...

When that activity is low, the Earth receives less radiation ... the researchers could identify each range’s “carrying capacity,” or the number of satellites that could be supported.

The team carried out simulations of how carbon emissions affect the upper atmosphere and orbital dynamics, in order to estimate the "satellite carrying capacity" of low-Earth orbit. These ...
