Russia's Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system was purpose-built to jam Starlink. It costs around $1.5 million per unit, covers just 20 square kilometers, and can only target one satellite at a time. Ukraine has been finding and destroying them within days of deployment.
Key topics today include the US Space Force's new international strategy, China's partnership with Pakistan for astronaut training, and conservation concerns over SpaceX landing proposals.
A HIGH-risk conjunction between STARLINK-4621 and the defunct SL-18 rocket body leads the July 11 safety picture, with eight Starlink satellites set to reenter through July 14.
Today's Space Brief explores new satellite launches, significant reentries, funding milestones, and critical policy updates.
SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites from Florida, marking a significant milestone in their deployment strategy. This follows the recent launch of 26 satellites from California, highlighting ongoing expansion efforts.
