saveanon12Starlink lost another 43 satellites last night. Over 300 satellites have burned up since July 16th. NOAA has 3 job openings for space forecaster.
If only there was a way to access the Internet that didn’t require constantly launching space junk into temporary orbit
Geostationary is more reliable but FAR slower and more expensive.
LEO is cheaper and faster even with these de-orbits. And on the plus side, deorbits from LEO don’t contribute to space junk.
BombOmOmExactly. For anyone worried about space junk, LEO is a great place to put satellites. Anything put there, either on purpose or as a result of rocket debris (fairings, etc), just falls back to earth fairly quickly.
