Climate Change Shrinks Thermosphere, Increasing Space Debris Collision Risk
A MIT study published in Nature Sustainability shows that climate change cools and shrinks the Earth's thermosphere, reducing atmospheric drag on space debris, increasing collision risks for satellites, and potentially decreasing satellite transport capacity by 50-66% between 200-1000km.
