In 1965, MIT's Lincoln Laboratory saw their Lincoln Calibration Sphere 1 (LCS-1) launched into Earth orbit. It was an empty aluminum sphere and couldn't do any science of its own. But the world's most boring disco ball has played a huge...

This week on SciShow Space News, astronauts had to take the scenic route to the ISS because of some space debris. And this month, you might get to see two eclipses: a solar eclipse, and a rare supermoon eclipse.

Our lives depend on a world we can't see: the satellite infrastructure we use every day for information, entertainment, communication and so much more. But earth orbit isn't a limitless resource, and the problem of space debris will get...

In this episode of SciShow Space News, Hank tells us about Scott Kelly's return from the ISS and the Atlantic Meteroid you didn't hear about.

The problem of space debris is solvable if we work together.

Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel, where we investigate how satellites are launched into space not only by rockets but also by innovative new means.
