A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting “unintended” radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.
These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That’s because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.
Musk is a fucking hack. Please stop this ding song from ruining more stuff.
Maybe you could stop foaming about Musk just because SpaceX is mentioned. SpaceX has made incredible innovations for space launches and allowed thousands of projects that otherwise would never have been able to afford a launch.
Also has saved tax payers loads of money by being super cheap to lauch nasa and defense satellites
They are cheap because they cut corners. Externalizing costs is not saving the tax payers shit in the long run.
You’re gonna have to cite a source on that one, you can’t just say one of the leading launch providers that has both nasa and defence customers is cutting corners without any proof.
Have you ever works with the airforce on space related stuff? Cause I have, and they are not the kinda people to just hand wave away stuff.
Didn’t they recently blow up a launch pad because they cut a corner? And then they had a couple of rockets blow up?
Nope, they test launched an experimental rocket from an experimental launch pad.
The pad actually survived and only needed minor repairs (completed within 3 months when it took well over a year to build) and going foreward a new suppression system will be used.
The only rocket that blew up recently was the experimental one but that was expected, they have 2 more test rockets built out, it was time to launch and get some real life data for future development. As long as the launch tower wasn’t destroyed the test was going to be considered a success.
They have only lost 2 rockets in actual commercial operations and that rocket holds the title of most reliable in the world currently.
Im sure that’s why they are the company with the best launch statistics by a huge margin, as well as the company with the most launches per year. Which they manage by being the only company in existence to have a working reusable rocket for Leo.
@MaggiWuerze @SpaceMonk SpaceX will always remain awesome, Musk these days is quite questionable but still entertaining lmao.
@MaggiWuerze @SpaceMonk like shooting a car into space
Yeah, but noone ever shot a comparable payload that cheaply into space.
