No fewer than 212 Starlink satellites disappeared over the summer. What happened?

Indeed, an unusual quantity of devices disappeared, between July 18 and September 18, 2023.

In an interview with Luc Ferrandez on Tuesday, listen to the explanations of Robert Lamontagne, astrophysicist at the University of Montreal.

“We can probably blame the activity of the sun,” he says.

Details that Elon Musk’s company SpaceX has already launched more than 5,000 Starlink satellites: 4,100 devices are still functional.
