The Satellite Threat

The biggest threat to our climate is likely what we don’t know. But surrounding the entire planet in pollution, debris, ash, and toxins from the rapid disposal and replacement plans of the megaconstellation satellite industry, in which enormous amounts of burn waste will stagnant in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, is a forefront climate concern. This pollution will likely eventually reach all air, land, and ocean. Here is an overview of major megaconstellation events so far:

February 2018 – First Starlink satellite prototype launch

January 2020 – Starlink considered potentially unlawful and noncompliant of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), “If the FCC were sued over its noncompliance with NEPA, it would likely lose.”

December 2022 – the Federal Communications Commission grants SpaceX permission to launch 7,500 satellites in response to their request for nearly 30,000 satellites, “To address concerns about orbital debris and space safety, we limit this grant to 7,500 satellites only, operating at certain altitudes.”

June 2024 – One of the first publications showing that satellite pollution will be involved with causing ozone re-depletion (note that this study does not have current up-to-date data)

August 2024 – Starlink satellite debris found to landfall in Canada (there is no evidence of necessary plasma testing by SpaceX to ensure debris will not landfall)

October 2024 – The Federal Communications Commission has approved 12,000 Starlink satellites

May 2025 – SpaceX announces that the new version of Starlink will increase from SUV-size to commercial aircraft-size

October 2025 – 10,000 Starlink satellites launched
