Would be interesting if they could jam starlink by tracking/blocking the laser coming off the spacecraft (satellite) probably far fetched

- QuarterReptile 2y agoTracking satellites is computationally intensive, Starlink has many satellites, and friends generally don't jam friends' communication satellites. The old jokes about aggressive NFL Copyright enforcement would really pale in comparison to Spain developing a mature anti-satellite capability in order to disrupt soccer broadcast piracy at the physical layer.
- ge96 2y ago> Tracking satellites is computationally intensive Is it? I've seen a guy doing it by hand with a YAGI antenna and a little handled radio. But I could see it for many and the phased part. Also people have web models like this one showing the orbits. https://satellitemap.space/ https://satellitemap.space/ Anyway yeah just mental exercise not really arguing for it
- alienthrowaway 2y agoIts much easier to ban imports and periodically do sweeps to locate terminals on the ground and confiscate/arrest the criminals operating them illegally. A Cessna or helicopter with GPS and directional antennae tuned to the right frequency bands is well within the reach of even banana republics.
