minus-squaresnipgan@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoLosing a chunk (5%) of their satellites in a couple months, sounds like they got roughly a 5 year expectancy, doesn’t sound so good. They would have to constantly be launching them. How expensive is this and can they realistically make a profit? I don’t see it being easy.

minus-squaregolli@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoI was under the impression that this wasnt a big risk with starlink as they are in a lower (around 550km), which means potential debris will decay rather than stay in a stable orbit.
