flag Climate change may increase space debris, threatening up to 66% of safe satellite orbits by 2100.

flag New research in Nature Sustainability warns that climate change could threaten satellite safety by prolonging the presence of space debris. flag Rising greenhouse gases are causing the upper atmosphere to cool and contract, reducing drag on debris and increasing orbital clutter. flag This could reduce safe satellite orbits by up to 66% by 2100 under high emissions scenarios, potentially requiring costly debris removal.
