StarLitter — I love my little satellite project. 😊

It’s come a long way. It now has a 3D view that shows the band of satellites visible from Earth.

Record #SolarSuperstorm shrank Earth’s plasma shield 78%, #GPS at risk

Story by Alexander Clark, 12/1/2025

Excerpt: "Why this storm is a warning shot for the #SatelliteEconomy

"Even without a total collapse of the magnetosphere, the recent superstorm delivered a clear warning to the satellite industry. Constellations in low Earth orbit [#LEO], such as #SpaceX’s #Starlink or #OneWeb, already have to contend with atmospheric drag and radiation, but they usually operate well inside the magnetosphere’s protection. When the plasma shield shrinks, those satellites face a double challenge: increased drag from a heated upper atmosphere and a more hostile radiation environment that can degrade electronics and solar panels. The event that compressed Earth’s shield by nearly 80 percent effectively stress-tested the assumptions behind the rapid expansion of commercial space infrastructure, a point underscored in analyses of how a solar storm can threaten satellites when the magnetosphere is squeezed.

"For operators of navigation, communications, and Earth observation satellites in higher orbits, the implications are even more direct. Many of these spacecraft were designed based on historical records of geomagnetic storms that did not include such extreme compression of the magnetosphere, which means their shielding, redundancy, and fault management systems may not fully account for the conditions seen in this event. As I look at the trajectory of the satellite economy, with thousands of new platforms planned for launch in the coming years, the lesson is clear: space weather resilience can no longer be treated as a niche concern. It has to be built into hardware design, constellation architecture, and operational playbooks from the start, or the next superstorm could turn a profitable orbital network into a liability overnight.

"Preparing for the next superstorm in a crowded sky

"The recent compression of Earth’s plasma shield did not trigger the kind of global blackout or navigation collapse that worst-case scenarios envision, but it came close enough to expose the seams in current preparedness. Space weather forecasting has improved, yet the lead times and confidence levels are still limited, especially for the most extreme events. To protect GPS, power grids, and other critical systems, operators need not just alerts that a storm is coming but actionable guidance on how severe the magnetospheric compression is likely to be, which orbits will be most exposed, and how long the elevated risk will last, insights that depend on the kind of multi-satellite observations and modeling showcased in the reconstruction of this storm.

"As I weigh the evidence, the path forward looks less like a single technological fix and more like a layered strategy. That means hardening satellites and ground infrastructure against radiation and induced currents, building redundancy into navigation and timing systems so that GPS is not a single point of failure, and integrating space weather scenarios into everything from grid planning to aviation routing. It also means improving public communication so that when the next superstorm hits, people understand both the seriousness of a 78 percent shrinkage of Earth’s plasma shield and the practical steps being taken to manage the risk. The recent event was a vivid reminder that our digital civilization is built inside a magnetic cocoon that can flex and falter, and that planning for those moments is no longer optional."

Ob sich die Internetanbieter via #Satelliten Gedanken um unsere #Atmosphäre machen?

Die aktuell mehr als 10.000 Satelliten, welche sich dafür in einem erdnahen Orbit bewegen, sind auf Verschleiß konzipiert. Das heißt sie haben nur eine begrenzte Lebensdauer und werden nach Ablauf dieser ersetzt. Jedes Jahr werden deshalb hunderte dieser Satelliten in der Erdatmosphäre verglühen. Sie bestehen aus seltenen Metallegierungen und viel Aluminium (ein eher reaktionsfreudiges Element). Die Anbieter wollen mit noch mehr Satelliten ihre Abdeckung verbessern, geplant seien mehr als 40.000 Satelliten im Orbit.
Untersuchungen, was die in die Atmosphäre eingebrachten Stoffe bewirken, scheint es bisher kaum zu geben. Immerhin gibt es erste Artikel, die am Rande auf das Problem eingehen.

About to begin our #RightsCon25 session about "Cross-Border Data Flows and Connectivity in Conflict Zones: A Role for Satellite Internet?" We'll be speaking about #LEOs systems such as #Starlink and #OneWeb - and what role they can - and can not - play in conflict zone. Looking forward to a great conversation!

Almost two weeks in Pacific time, starting with Black Hat and ending with some family time in the Bay Area, should have ended at around 9 p.m. Sunday. But the line of thunderstorms that swept through the D.C. area and shut down ramp operations at Dulles for a chunk of the evening had other ideas, which is why we got a free tour of IAD during a two-hour wait for a gate and why I’m now typing this sentence from baggage claim after midnight Monday.

8/13/2024: How Hughes Network Systems could bring satellite terminal manufacturing down to Earth, Light Reading

I visited Hughes’ new factory the day before I flew out to Vegas for Black Hat two weeks ago, then wrote this piece on Monday to include some news about Hughes’ contract to manufacture terminals for the low-Earth-orbit satellite-broadband firm OneWeb that Hughes PR gave me in advance.

8/13/2024: Patreon to Creators: Sorry, We Have to Let Apple Take a Cut of In-App Support, PCMag

I could not have written this story the way I did had I not set up shop on Patreon over five years ago and supported other creators on that platform. Some definitions of journalistic ethics would call that being too close to the story, but sometimes there’s no replacement for lived experience in a subject.

Later that day, I followed up by writing a post for Patreon readers explaining that I was not going to eat Apple’s cut, which meant that they could choose between paying about 43 percent extra (an increase Patreon calculated to ensure that creators would earn the same from a patron regardless of where they signed up) or following my advice to sign up on the Web.

8/15/2024: Come Out and Play: An Oral History of the HFStival, Washingtonian

I enjoyed the hell out of revisiting some of my favorite RFK memories with Washingtonian’s Andrew Beaujon over a long phone interview in May. I also enjoyed seeing my one quote from that conversation follow extended testimony from musicians in some of my favorite D.C. indie-rock bands of that era: the Dismemberment Plan, Jawbox, Tuscadero and Velocity Girl.

8/15/2024: Ep 104 SmartTechCheck Podcast — HEB and Apple Pay, Google news, desktop PC thoughts, BlackHat, Mark Vena

I joined my industry-analyst friend’s podcast to share my thoughts on Black Hat and to compare notes with fellow tech scribes John Quain and Dwight Silverman.

8/16/2024: Court: Calif. Child-Safety Bill Turns Businesses Into ‘Censors for the State’, PCMag

One state’s law about online child safety getting blocked by a federal appeals court might not seem like national news, but California is a very large state and the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act has already inspired similar laws in other states and a bill that passed the Senate last month.

8/17/2024: Court Stops Disney-Fox-WBD ‘Venu’ Live Sports Service on Antitrust Grounds, PCMag

Friday gave me a second opportunity to digest a fairly lengthy court ruling and explain it to readers, this time one that halted the rollout of a sports streaming service on antitrust grounds.
