Starlink terminals continue to be sold in #Russia, used to kill Ukrainians.

Despite assurances from marketplaces that the terminals are not available for ordering and the Russian authorities' ban on using the systems, some sellers are putting the terminals up for sale under a different brand so that they will not be removed from the trading floor.

Only on the Russian marketplace "Ozon" managed to find 12 #Starlink terminals at a price of $1600.

Elon Musk's systems are in high demand by the Russian military, which increasingly using them in combat operations in #Ukraine

A third Chinese company files with the ITU to launch a 10,000 satellite mega-constellation into low Earth orbit (LEO) - https://spacenews.com/chinese-firm-files-plans-for-10000-satellite-constellation/

If all these LEO operators actually launch their constellations, it’s gonna get pretty crowded up there!

I submitted a comment to the FCC regarding my disapproval of direct-to-cell satellites. Please consider adding your voice to help preserve the night sky and the sensitive environments of Earth’s upper atmosphere and low-Earth orbit. You can find specific details on what you can do at https://www.kesslerrebellion.com/take-action. The FCC is open to taking comments from individuals around the world, not just in the USA.

" 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. satellites make it difficult to search for objects at risk of impacting the Earth"

Irony:

dreams of "saving" humanity by colonizing , dooms us to impact- his toys blot our warning

"This work presents a photometric model of the Starlink satellites based on the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) using millions of photometric observations. ... In addition to assessing the light pollution and guiding the development of response measures, accurate photometric models of satellites can also play an important role in areas such as space situational awareness."

So, which is it?

"Musk's Starlink satellites disrupted by major solar storm" https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/05/11/musks-starlink-satellites-disrupted-by-major-solar-storm.html

or

"SpaceX Starlink satellites doing just fine after weekend solar storm, company says" https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-solar-storm-healthy-satellites ?

It can't be both. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow Starlink totally shat itself overnight . I'm not sure how bad earlier in the night because it even rebooted so lost the data from before 4am! After that it's had many, many, 2second or more outages and 4 which were 15 to 30 seconds! Usually the list is blank.

sky train passing overhead at 9:30 here, looks perfect viewing opportunity if the clouds cooperate

also, if the solar storm does deorbit any, it will be those same just-launched ones

Is Starlink earning enough money to keep the business going? One analyst firm thinks so; it projects that SpaceX's satellite internet business is now "self-sustaining," with Starlink revenues projected to reach $6.6 billion this year. https://www.pcmag.com/news/analyst-spacexs-starlink-is-now-a-self-sustaining-business
