SpaceX's Starshield Satellites May Breach Global Frequency Regulations

SpaceXs Starshield satellites may be breaching global frequency regulations by transmitting on unauthorized frequencies, raising concerns about compliance and national security implications.

• Amateur satellite tracker Scott Tilley discovered that SpaceXs Starshield satellites appear to be transmitting signals to Earth on frequencies not permitted under international telecommunications standards.
• Starshield, a classified variant of SpaceXs Starlink network, is designed for government contracts to bolster national security, potentially complicating adherence to global frequency regulations.
• The findings regarding Starshields frequency usage raise questions about the operational transparency of SpaceX and its compliance with established international norms governing satellite communications.
