While Starlink awaits its India entry, Elon Musk is expanding the service in the US. SpaceX is setting up Starlink Mobile, which would combine on-ground infrastructure with satellites to deliver 5G coverage in the US. The company signed a multi-year agreement…
Perth: Less than a decade ago, there were about 2,000 operational satellites orbiting Earth. Today there are more than 15,000. Millions more are planned. Much has been made of the “space junk” problem these satellites create. But there’s another problem that has…
Radio emissions from satellite electronics are interfering with radio telescopes and undermining measurements used to support GPS, according to research by distinguished professor Steven Tingay, the executive director of the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy in Australia. The number of…
This analysis separates the confirmed pieces from the estimate and the speculation. It also looks at what the radios and baseband silicon tell us, where the money could go, and what could slow the plan down. If you want the…
