Space needs better \u2018parking spots\u2019 to stay usable \u2014 an engineer is finding them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any mission headed to space needs a \u201cparking spot\u201d at its destination. But these parking spots, regions located on orbits, are quickly becoming occupied or more vulnerable to collisions. Most objects launching to space are satellites, and about 10 times the number of satellites currently in space are expected to launch by 2030. \u201cWith this density of satellites, something is going to fail and cause a collision. It\u2019s just a matter of probability,\u201d said David Arnas<\/a>, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics<\/a> in Purdue University\u2019s College of Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AP Video \u2014 Did Mars have a warm climate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Briony Horgan, a professor of planetary science in Purdue University\u2019s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, explains how geology could tell us what kind of climate existed on ancient Mars. While it is thought Mars was only cold and icy, carvings in its rock and soil point to an earlier time when the planet had a warm climate with rivers and even lakes. Samples collected by the Mars rover returning to Earth in the next decade will give greater insight into what the climate may have actually been like on Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
