- An Emerging Risk To #RadioAstronomy 📡 Using a prototype SKA-Low instrument, a new analysis from @icrar.bsky.social has detected Starlink signals leaking into protected radio bands. @cosmicrami.com writes about this new study. www.spaceaustralia.com/news/emergin... 📸 Astro_Work 🔭 #SpaceAustralia
- Radio frequency interference from Starlink not only spans the narrowband intended emissions but also broadband unintended emissions, coming from propulsion and avionics. This RFI is unregulated and affects key science goals. Starlink can appear in ~30% of all sky images. 📸 Grigg et al. 2025 📡🔭Jun 5, 2025 22:13
- This new study, from Dylan Grigg at Curtin University, is not the first to study the impacts of Starlink on #RadioAstronomy, but is the largest of its kind and quantifies how this type of radio frequency interference - that comes from above - will impact the mega-science SKA project. 📸 DISR 📡🔭
