SpaceX's Starlink Satellites Are Leaking More Radio Waves Than Ever
Satellite swarms orbiting the Earth are leaking more radiation into protected wavelength bands than ever. In fact, the second generation of Starlink satellites – known as the v2mini and v2mini Direct-to-Cell versions – are leaking up to 32 times more radiation than their predecessor.
Radio pollution from SpaceX's new Starlink satellites poses threat to astronomy, scientists say
SpaceX's new Starlink satellites are so radio noisy that they could blind radio astronomy observatories to the universe's most intriguing phenomena, scientists say.
Starlink's new satellites emit 30x more radio interference than before, drowning cosmic signals
V2 sats beam 10M times brighter noise, hampering telescopes The second generation of Starlink satellites being lobbed into orbit by SpaceX might not reflect as much sunlight as the old ones, yet astronomers say they're leaking up to 32 times the unintended radio waves instead.
Starlink Satellites Risk Blotting Out Radio Telescopes, Astronomers Warn
The excess radio emissions from Starlink satellites threatens to hinder observations through radio telescopes, astronomers in Europe say.
Starlink is increasingly interfering with astronomy, scientists say
An international team of astronomers reported in a study Wednesday that the second generation model of Starlink satellites is hampering radio astronomy, which is essential for the study of the non-visible universe,
Astronomers warn of Starlink satellites’ impact on space research
Astronomers are concerned about the interference from Starlink satellites, which emit stronger radio waves, hindering astronomical research.
Second-gen Starlink satellites leak 30 times more radio interference, threatening astronomical observations
Observations with the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) radio telescope last year showed that first generation Starlink satellites emit unintended radio waves that can hinder astronomical observations.
