Scientists use Starlink satellites as upper atmosphere scanner

ScienceDaily

Researchers successfully used orbital data from approximately 1,200 Starlink satellites to map atmospheric density about 500 kilometers above Earth.

  • Orbital data from 1,200 Starlink satellites mapped Earth's upper atmosphere.
  • The method reconstructs atmospheric density at 500 kilometers altitude.
  • The technique aims to sharpen satellite tracking and collision avoidance.

That's all the important news for now
