CNN Science
Our researchers, leaders, and educators are making headlines with their innovative work, including the potential impacts of colliding space debris.
In an article for CNN Science, Dr. Nilton Renno, a professor at University of Michigan Climate and Space, explains Kessler’s Syndrome, a scenario in which the number of satellites and space debris in orbit is so high that collisions occur, generating more space junk and falling satellite debris. He was interviewed in the article “What is ‘Kessler Syndrome’ — and why do some scientists think the space disaster scenario has already started?” The story was also reported in The Economic Times.| December 27, 2024
