Using Starlink to Map an Atmospheric Blind Spot (japanresearchreport.substack.com)
Japanese researchers have turned roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites into an unlikely atmospheric observatory, using data from their orbital decline to map the wispy reaches of Earth's upper atmosphere.
Japanese researchers have turned ~1,200 #Starlink satellites into an atmospheric observatory, using tiny changes in their orbits to map the poorly understood thermosphere.
An unexpected scientific bonus from @spacex.com.
