I'm very confused about this comment - how is losing 40 operational satellites a "great way to test the resilience of Starlink launches during a predicted geomagnetic storm"? And what part of this is "great PR"?
- cryptonector 5y agoThey lost only recently launched sats that had not yet raised their orbits. They did not lose other sats. That is a test of starlink's resilience!
- visviva 5y agoThe OP stated this was a test of the resilience of Starlink launches, not the system itself. In either case, surely there are better ways of testing this than letting 40 brand new spacecraft burn up.
