How Long Will Garbage Dump Remain in Orbit?

NASA sent commands to the International Space Station for the release of a 2.9-ton cargo pallet loaded with old batteries, the most massive object ever jettisoned from the orbiting outpost. The garbage carrier is expected to remain in orbit for two-to-four years before re-entering the atmosphere, according to an article published on Bollyinside.

SpaceWaves: What it takes to build a Martian supply chain (with video)

SpaceWaves: Cargo rockets and a space economy (with video)

Cowing joins for a SpaceWaves talk about the space economy.
