It's in the article you posted:
Yeah the article i posted the other day also suggest solar flares for the increase, but many people chimed in suggesting that this was normal and expected because they have short lifespans. Over 200 in 3 months sounds like a lot to me, which is roughly 4% of their total satellites and the earliest production satellites were from 2019 and it wasn't even 200.
Exactly this quick loss it not normal.
How do you know?
Because if the business plan for Starlink is to lose 4% of its fleet quarterly, it's beyond doomed to fail.
That might not be the plan, but this is a Musk run company. We all know that Musk companies don't have the best track record with build quality.
I'm no Musk fan but this tech is a game changer for anyone not living in North America or Europe. Even Australians stand to benefit.
Anyone who lives any sort of distance from NA and Europe understands the physical limitation of the speed of light through a glass medium.
Also the satellites are in low earth orbit so quick decay is meant to happen. Also solar activity happens often, and any manner of craziness because it's space after all.
SpaceX and Oneweb have changed the satellite game. They have developed low cost highly deployable satellites. The immense amount of engineering is really a feat of human endeavour.
Oh, and SpaceX isn't the only company doing this. There are several other companies trying to get similar projects off the ground.
Im really hoping that this takes off. Low latency, fast internet, not dependent on electricity infrastructure I really hope starlink comes to fruition.
No that's definitely not it lol. You forgot the other half of the article.
I didn't, solar flares and activity can cause signal loss. I agree that the amount of starlink loss seems excessive, but signal loss can be explained by solar activity. What do you think is happening?
Lol you can see they filled it in with red marks after i posted about it. swpc.noaa.gov
Oh, I'm sure that NOAA is watching you and really cares about what you're posting.
Didn't you just post it
Huh? Yes, I posted a relevant paragraph from the article.
You did not post the full article
I'm fully aware that I did not post the full article, that wasn't my intention. Why would I have to post the full article? You already linked that.
OP is a weird conspiracy nut, Logic and reason don't seem to apply.
Case in point, they posted a link to a story claiming that the FBI was full of satanists last week, and the source was a guy who left the FBI in 1980 and jumped on the Satanic Panic grift.
OP is a weapons grade idiot
The Qanon movement is a joke even outside of the United States.
You forgot the second half of the article about the satellite data missing as well as the link.
