I mean maybe this is the push they need to actually spend the cash and get one up in space that is away from natural interferences as well?
Sucks for the home radio Astro guy, but they have the solution, have had for a long time.
The best solution is probably to not have starlink satellites up in space tbh
Any satellite would provide interference, and the earth naturally has its own, so that’s a non-factor, when the best results can only be had in space.
Radio astronomy isn’t exactly a home hobbies thing if you didn’t know….
And radio telescopes aren't exactly compact enough to build in space. Radio telescope arrays tend to be fields withs dozens-hundreds of dishes several meters across.
You can do the same in space…
There is also the fact that the starlink satellites are depleting the ozone layer, in case you haven't decided we should remove these things yet.
And? What’s that got to do with radio interfernce?
