  6. "#China could effectively approach nearly 1,400 #Starlink #satellites within 12 hours using just 99 Chinese satellites. These could be equipped with lasers, microwaves and other devices to conduct reconnaissance, tracking or other operations."

  7. More details on the secret #SpaceX satellite constellation program for the U.S. Department of #Defense.

    Perhaps most worrisome: the potential for these assets to become the targets of space warfare, including #ASAT weapons.

  8. "After decades of reflecting on the basics of nuclear blasts in space, I have come to see the risks as extremely low to nonexistent because a detonation would harm not only the attacked, but also the attacker."

  9. New research on the potential for radiative forcing of the climate from satellite re-entry debris: "We find that reentry-ablated alumina particles have ... a cooling radiative forcing of approximately -0.378mW/m2."
