   Data from Space-Track.org allowed Corby-based electronic company RS Components to analyse just how many bits of debris are currently orbiting Earth and which country they belong to.

   Spaceship Neptune isn’t powered by rockets but is lifted 30 kilometers above the Earth by a gigantic balloon, big enough to fit a whole football stadium inside.

  Governments are turning to the technology to expose hidden sources of greenhouse-gas emissions and monitor compliance with global pacts—as well as to point fingers at each other.
