I wonder if it's because they could be hacked.
- rekttrader 3y agoThis... my hunch is faulty territory lockouts. Russia has been gray market importing starlinks given their usefulness in Ukraine.
- inemesitaffia 3y agoThis isn't it. I'm 100% sure
- everybodyknows 3y agoThat would mean they're lying about the reason: > An unspecified defect in early model Starlink satellites has prompted SpaceX to preemptively deorbit the units before they potentially fail and become hazards in low Earth orbit.
- ijhuygft776 3y agoThat doesn't mean that they couldn't fail as a consequence of a hack.....
- jstarfish 3y agoSomething close to that, I think. Russia has been putting a lot of effort into beam jamming lately. DoSing/jamming the uplink interfaces could result in commands not relaying/executing, hence: loss of control.
