As the threat of falling spacecraft increases, using earthquake sensors to detect the effects of their sonic booms could ...

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

It is essential to monitor the human-made space junk in orbit, as some of them pose a risk to the population if they fall ...

The sensors used to listen for earthquakes could help protect people from the hazards created by falling spacecraft.

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

As the number of satellites in orbit explodes, the amount of hardware eventually plunging back through the atmosphere is ...

A growing space debris problem leads scientists to use seismic sensors to follow sonic booms from uncontrolled reentries ...

As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can better track incoming ...

Sometimes, what goes up doesn’t come back down — instead, it becomes a problem. Junk is accumulating in space at a fantastic pace, millions of pieces orbit the Earth, from broken satellites to lost ...

What is more concerning is that there are tens of thousands of pieces of debris larger than 10 centimeters, each capable of crippling satellites or endangering crews, and there is currently no ...
