Starlink Mega Constellation

[Galin]

За мен си е чист мигащ самолет

И да прилича на нишка заради няколко секундната експозиция ...

Днес разпратиха тези препоръки до Обединените нации - за вземане на общовалидни мерки и правила за използване на близкия космос:

"Appeal by Astronomers" STATEMENT:

IF TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES WANT TO COMMERCIALLY EXPLOIT THE LOW
EARTH ORBIT (LEO), THREATENING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE
UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHT TO ENJOY A STARRY SKY (for all humans and astronomers in
particular)
THEN IT IS NECESSARY TO MODIFY INTERNATIONAL TREATIES ON OUTER SPACE,
OTHERWISE CONSTELLATIONS DEPLOYMENT HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED
UNLAWFUL!
THE UNITED NATIONS MUST NECESSARILY PROCEED TO ISSUE A RESOLUTION
VOTED IN PLENARY ASSEMBLY TO BAN ANY EXPLOITATION OF THE SPACE FOR
COMMERCIAL PURPOSES AND REVOKE ANY AUTHORIZATION ALREADY GRANTED
BY THE U.S. FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION;
THE UNITED NATIONS MUST PUT ON HANG FURTHER SATELLITES LAUNCHES UNTIL
A CLEAR INTERNATIONAL REGULATION FOR LEO CONSTELLATIONS WILL BE
AGREED UPON AND RATIFIED BY UNOOSA AND BY UNITED NATIONS
REPRESENTATIVE PARTIES.
THIS IS THE POSITION OF MORE THAN 20 2 0 ASTRONOMERS FROM ABOUT 55
COUNTRIES SUBSCRIBING OUR "APPEAL BY ASTRONOMERS".
WE HOPE THAT THIS REQUEST WILL BE TAKEN IN SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
