Scientists find a breakthrough technique to track falling satellites
Scientists are now tracking falling satellites by listening to Earth's vibrations. Powerful shockwaves from re-entering space debris are detected by earthquake-monitoring instruments, allowing for near real-time reconstruction of flight paths and landing zones. This seismic method offers a crucial new way to understand where debris lands, complementing existing tracking systems.
