What is going on guys?
It’s in the article you posted:
Experts are blaming the most recent solar storm as the cause. A G3 Geomagnetic storm rocked the Earth this past week producing spectacular auroras all the way down to the mid latitude areas in the United States. Major solar flares continue to blast the Earth causing unstable conditions for satellites. Two more M8 flares have been been hurled towards Earth causing Geomagnetic storm predictions for this weekend. The solar wind index according to swpc.noaa.gov showed 500-600km per second winds throughout the duration of the storm. The average wind speed is usually around 300km per second for mild conditions.
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.
You forgot the second half of the article about the satellite data missing as well as the link.

If you live in the US or Canada, I recommend just using your cell phone for internet.
I use Visible for $25/month and have unlimited data at reasonable speeds.
That’s all good and well if you’re in close proximity to a cell tower. There’s huge stretches of rural areas that aren’t…
True, but Visible uses Verizon’s network.
I used to use Mint mobile and had issues while traveling the US. Ever since switching to Visible, I’ve had no problems whatsoever.
I’m recommending this for people who live in rural areas, which I do.
Russians or Chinese mad about them being used in Ukraine?
Wow, dude you got your posts deleted by the moderators and here you are trying to keep them going. You are just dumb dude. You need to go back to school and get a better education. Multiple people have told you why this is the case and you think its some grand conspiracy. They are micro satellites in low earth orbit, equipment attrition is built into their costs apparently.
