Scientists have just found a new way to track the uncontrolled reentry of falling space junk. As they punch into the ...

Old satellites and other space junk fall toward Earth every day, and the shock waves they create could be used to track their ...

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

As global numbers of space launches relentlessly skyrocket, so, too, does the amount of dangerous space debris that reenters the atmosphere and falls back to Earth, raising the odds that, sooner or ...

Objects in orbit that fall to Earth can pose a risk to life and infrastructure. Research outlines a new method to follow ...

The X-59 QueSST aims to be the first supersonic aircraft to reduce the "boom" to a "thumb" and overcome one of the great ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — As more and more space junk comes crashing down, a new study shows how earthquake monitors can ...

Vandenberg Space Force Base is expanding its research to better understand and reduce sonic booms that impact nearby ...

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

The X-59 is designed to transform the sonic boom associated with supersonic flight into a “sonic thump”—making it feasible to fly over populated areas. NASA’s new X-59 experimental jet flew for the ...
