this doesn't make sense to me. The ISS can go as low as 360km before they get a boost back to a higher orbit, but the starlink satellites they are denying will all be lower than that (and worst case, they can force SpaceX to pay for a few additional reboost missions over the next 6 years before they deorbit it)
These satellites would be in the way of supply missions to/from ISS.
but they would avoid the thousands of satellites going up and down through the ISS orbit range to get to their ~550km orbit/
They don't linger there, so that's different. BR Daniel AJ _______________________________________________ Starlink mailing list Starlink@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/starlink
