Tausende Satelliten im All: Reicht der Platz noch aus? According to SpaceX, the satellites spend more time in the Earth's shadow due to the lower orbit and therefore reflect less sunlight. In addition, they move faster across the sky, which reduces the interference per pixel in telescope images. Another important success is that the brightness remains below the threshold value for visibility with the naked eye. Further measures against interference SpaceX has already taken various measures, including optimizing the alignment of the satellites and their solar panels. The company is working with the International Astronomical Union on this. The company is also interested in reducing conflicts with a view to further expansion plans. The FCC has already granted SpaceX approval for an additional 7,500 next-generation satellites. Anzeige The NSF will continue to investigate the effects, SpaceX announced. At the same time, the company is asking the FCC to make other satellite operators more accountable. The commitment of a single company is not enough to really solve the problems for astronomers. However, they complain that radio waves are also a problem and affect radio telescopes. Read also
