- GekkePrutser 4y agoTheir position is not a secret. They're tracked by NORAD and their tracking parameters are public. You can track them with any satellite tracker app. The tracking elements are here: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=starlink&FORMAT=tle https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=starlink&F... This info is enough to calculate their exact position and is constantly updated as their orbits change due to degradation or powered movements. But accurately hitting an object at 400km altitude moving at 10km/s is outside the capability of all but corporate and state actors and starlink is not great target because their sats are so small and there's so many of them. It would cost a fortune in missiles just to make a dent in the constellation.
