Earthquake sensors can detect sonic booms generated by reentering space debris to help track the potentially dangerous ...

Falling satellites and large orbital debris create massive sonic booms and scientists are using them to track dangerous space junk.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can better track incoming objects by tuning into their sonic booms.

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

Earthquake sensors are giving scientists a new way to track space junk as it falls back to Earth.

As of August 2024, there were reportedly more than 700 unidentified objects in the Space-Track catalogue maintained by the 18th Space Defense Squadron. These are not alien spacecraft or mysterious ...

Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—pose a risk to humans when they fall to the ground. To locate possible crash sites, a Johns Hopkins University ...

Last week, Rocket Lab opened its Launch Complex 3 at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) in Virginia, managed by the Virginia Spaceport Authority. The new complex is Rocket Lab's fourth launch ...
