A new study reveals that SpaceX’s latest Generation 2 Starlink satellites emit even more unintended electromagnetic radiation (UEMR) than their predecessors, potentially disrupting radio astronomy. Researchers warn that unchecked deployment could hinder the study of cosmic objects. Using the LOFAR telescope, scientists found that the “V2 mini” satellites, the most common Gen 2 type, emit up to 32 times more UEMR than Gen 1 models. This radiation could “blind radio telescopes and cripple vital research,” as it mimics frequencies from stars, exoplanets, and other celestial bodies.
