Space debris falling to Earth is a growing threat to aircraft, and experts are trying to reduce the risk.

But as more and more satellites are launched into LEO...the region's getting a bit crowded.

SpaceX will soon lower the orbits of about 4,400 Starlink satellites, to decrease the threat they pose to other spacecraft and reduce space traffic overall.

The test is designed to prepare satellites for one of the most complex tasks in space: safely approaching another object.

We just got a great up-close look at a SpaceX Starlink satellite that recently suffered an anomaly in orbit, thanks to Vantor's WorldView-3 spacecraft.

Odin Space and Arkisys are teaming up to provide customers with pioneering insurance for spacecraft specifically to cover space debris collision events.

One of SpaceX's Starlink broadband satellites suffered an anomaly in orbit on Wednesday (Dec. 17) that led to its partial breakup, according to the company.

Satellites would likely begin colliding with each other or space junk in less than three days if they were to lose the ability to maneuver, for example due to an intense solar storm.
