Space debris from rocket bodies orbiting Earth could pose an increased threat of striking aircraft as it falls from space, ...

Some high-density airspace regions could have as high as a 26% of being affected by an uncontrolled rocket body reentry.

Uncontrolled space debris reentries are of growing concern. The prospect of leftovers from space hotfooting into the Earth's ...

A study recently released by the University of British Columbia puts the annual chance that space rocket debris will re-enter ...

A new paper by University of British Columbia researchers paints a stark picture of the risks of space debris on commercial ...

The risk of rogue rocket debris and other man-made space junk colliding with planes is a growing challenge that’s only going ...

A new study from researchers at UBC found that the chance of debris entering air space around major cities is as high as 26 per cent each year.

As more space junk is falling to Earth uncontrolled, scientists are using seismometers to track the debris.

The probability of space debris crashing in particularly crowded airspace is 26 percent per year. The risk could be reduced.

Large, uncontrolled space junk reentering Earth's atmosphere has the increasing potential to disrupt air travel, if affected ...

Now, scientists have calculated the chance that falling rocket junk could enter the airspace, potentially striking an ...
