Finance and more. Satellites like the ones used for Starlink’s internet service could be depleting the Earth’s ozone layer when they’re deorbited, according to a new study funded by NASA and ...

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — SpaceX successfully launched another batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Monday. The company’s Falcon 9 rocket carried 28 satellites from ...

Satellites are increasingly a global-communications lifeline, allowing people in remote areas, even war zones, to make phone calls and get online without the need for ground-based infrastructure ...

New research examines the effect of greenhouse gases on Earth’s upper atmosphere, suggesting that it will shrink over time and become less capable of holding as many satellites as it does now.

The launch sent 23 Starlink satellites, 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

In January, about 120 SpaceX Starlink satellites burnt up in Earth’s atmosphere. Reports say there were three to four re-entries each day which led to the creation of artificial meteor showers, and ...

Today, there are over 10,000 satellites drifting through low-Earth orbit, which describes the region of space up to 1,200 miles, or 2,000 kilometers, from Earth's surface.

After repeated delays, Amazon’s Starlink competitor, Project Kuiper, is finally ready to send its first batch of production satellites into low-Earth orbit. The company plans to launch 27 ...

A team of aerospace engineers has recently discovered that climate change is altering conditions in near-Earth space. Over time, these shifts could limit the number of satellites that can reliably ...

Here’s how it works. SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Monday (March 31). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink spacecraft lifted ...
