Theoretically speaking, could you use high power lasers to overheat the satellites to the point that they break and permanently stop working?
I've had this idea on my mind for quite a while now, because some time ago I heard something about Starlink painting their satellites black, which reminded me of the "it's hotter in a black car" thing.
- JoeDaDude 3y agoThere is a known threat in using lasers to damage the solar cells which would lead to the batteries fully discharging and the satellite becoming useless for lack of electrical power.
