SpaceX In a statement made today, around 100 Starlink He announced that his satellite would be removed from orbit due to the detection of a defect that could cause problems in the future.
The announcement states that the Starlink team has identified a common problem in this subset of first-generation communications satellites that “may increase the likelihood of failure.”
The 17 Starlink satellites are “currently unmaneuverable,” but SpaceX did not say whether this was due to the same issue as the 100 satellites removed from orbit.
How to Download 100 Starlink Satellites?
The satellites will not be destroyed directly and will be brought down to Earth. The landings will take place “in the coming weeks and months,” but these satellites are not capable of large movements, so it will be a very different procedure than normal.
The deorbiting process will actually take about six months, and during this period, “they will take responsibility for maneuvering for high-risk collisions,” meaning that if the satellites to be taken down cross paths with other satellites, emergency maneuvers will be carried out.
The 100 Starlink satellites that will be downloaded will be downloaded one by one, not all together, so it will not be possible to follow this process by watching the sky.
