Kratos: LEO constellations trespass on GEO spectrum & each other’s every 5 minutes. Imagine when Kuiper, Chinese arrive

by Peter B. de Selding

LA PLATA, Maryland — Non-geostationary orbit satellite networks are routinely beaming their signals in areas reserved for geostationary satellites, and into each other’s signals as well, according to spectrum-monitoring service provider Kratos.

The interference caused, while real, has up to now not been the source of complaints to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in part because it is not yet serious enough to be seen as a material issue by the geostationary satellite operators or, in LEO-to-LEO interference, the low-orbit constellation operators.
