SpaceX satellites threaten to hide asteroids that pose danger to humanity | The International Astronomical Union demands that urgent action be taken against the uncontrolled proliferation of these devices. Starlink satellites make it difficult to search for objects at risk of impacting the Earth
The International Astronomical Union demands that urgent action be taken against the uncontrolled proliferation of these devices. Starlink satellites make it difficult to search for objects at risk of impacting the Earth
This celestial encounter with a double happy ending — both due to the absence of damage and the success in early detection and rapid response — has been a milestone for scientists working on Earth’s planetary defense systems. But their efforts clash with Elon Musk’s plans to add tens of thousands of satellites in the coming years to the Starlink network — operated by his company SpaceX — to provide global broadband internet coverage. However, based on the recent increase in the rate of launches, as well as the current filings with the FCC (the U.S. Federal Communications Commission) for hundreds of thousands of satellites in Low Earth Orbit, that can soon change… especially if appropriate brightness-mitigation strategies aren’t widely adopted.”
