There have been several near misses involving <a href=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/portable-starlink-internet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starlink satellites<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tiangong_space_station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chinese space station<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering companies like Amazon (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kuiper_Systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Kuiper<\/a>) and OneWeb want to launch their satellites into low earth orbit, there might be higher collision risks in the future that increase space debris at this altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-23.jpg\" alt=\"The international space station\" class=\"wp-image-3400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-23.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-23-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-23-768x478.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The international space station<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that happens, low earth orbit might be unusable, and we might be unable to launch rockets to higher altitudes to place more satellites into orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-collision-risks\">Other Collision Risks<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/European_Space_Agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ESA<\/a> announced in 2019 that it directed its Aeolus satellite to undertake evasive maneuvers to avoid collision with Starlink 44 (one of the satellites in the first mega constellation launch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer models at the time also showed Starlink satellites in about 1,600 encounters where two space vehicles are close than a kilometer (0.6 miles) from each other. And this number increases with each space launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you can picture the number of potential encounters once Starlink and the other operators complete their constellations.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"starlinks-impact-on-astronomy\">Starlink&#8217;s Impact on Astronomy<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>With over 3,500 satellites in LEO, Elon Musk&#8217;s company has negatively impacted radio and optical astronomical observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first record-breaking launch of 60 satellites in space in 2019, the linear string of lights created a spectacular display that surprised almost everyone, including the astronomical community and SpaceX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-23.jpg\" alt=\"The linear string of pearls.

How Starlink satellites appear after launch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it wasn&#8217;t as spectacular and exciting to the astronomical community because the researchers began to panic as they noticed satellite streaks in their data. They showed photos with satellite streaking from observatories, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zwicky_Transient_Facility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zwicky Transient Facility<\/a> (ZTF) near San Diego and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lowell_Observatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Lowell Observatory<\/a> in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They conducted <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.3847\/2041-8213\/ac470a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">studies<\/a> from 2019 to 2021 that showed most streaks appearing in twilight images, with an increase from 0.5% to 20% of the photos being affected. Twilight images are vital to finding potentially dangerous comets and asteroids coming to the earth from the sun&#8217;s direction. So satellite streaks on these images are a big concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, the constellation is not even half of its intended size. ZTF astronomers expect the additional internet satellites to cause streaks in all twilight images once the constellation is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radio astronomers also expect interference from the Starlink satellite radio-based antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spacexs-response\">SpaceX&#8217;s Response<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>SpaceX began outfitting VisorSats or blackened sunshades on their satellites to minimize sunlight reflection as they cruise above the earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first DarkSat launched in 2021 featured a black anti-reflective coating, making it half as bright when observed from ground stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Satellite streaking might not be an issue for telescope observations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there&#8217;s only a tiny chance astronomers might miss comets or asteroids behind satellite streaks from images captured by the current observatories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-20.jpg\" alt=\"Three Starlink satellites traveling into position at the right orbital altitude\" class=\"wp-image-3403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-20.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-20-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Three Starlink satellites are <\/em>traveling into position at the right orbital altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But future observatories with more sensitive optics, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vera_C._Rubin_Observatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Vera Rubin Observatory<\/a>, might experience more outsized light pollution effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the anti-reflective coating rendered the vehicle invisible to the naked eye, the reflection was still too bright for the Vera Rubin Observatory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, black retains too much heat in the satellite, so SpaceX resorted to the more reflective visor alternative, which is brighter, but not as much as the original satellites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12.jpg\" alt=\"An astronomical observatory in Chile\" class=\"wp-image-3404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An astronomical observatory in Chile<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-photograph-starlink-satellites\">How To Photograph Starlink Satellites<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Starlink satellite network circles the earth from an altitude of approximately 342 miles.
