Space is getting messy, but a new generation of cleanup satellites is heading up to tidy the orbital highways. Using ion thrusters and Kevlar-composite frames, these 'tow trucks' are designed to safely bring old debris back to Earth.
Tracking satellites requires a deep understanding of Earth's shape, the Moon's gravity, and even the pressure of sunlight to prevent collisions in space.
Space is getting crowded with old junk, but a new generation of 'janitor' satellites is using ion engines and Kevlar shells to clean up the mess safely.
A look at how tiny accidents, hidden maps, and old data help us predict the future, from the ground under our feet to the debris in the sky.
Predicting how satellites fall back to Earth involves tracking solar winds, the Earth's bulge, and even the gravity of the Moon.
Space is getting crowded with old junk, but new cleanup satellites using Kevlar-composite materials and precise math are starting to clear the way.
Tracking a satellite's path is harder than it looks. From the wobble of the Earth to the push of sunlight, see how scientists predict exactly when and where space junk will fall.
