Tilly said that the discovery happened by chance: she lost the necessary settings and suddenly saw an unexpected signal from space. After recording and analyzing the data, he realized that the source was Starshield satellites, a secret SpaceX network created for the needs of the US Army. Tilly said he detected transmissions from 170 Starshield satellites.
Typically this band remains “quiet” and using it for feedback can interfere with other satellites, including scientific and commercial satellites.
The expert suggested that SpaceX may deliberately violate international norms to speed up the project in the hope of “begging for forgiveness later.”
Although there were no reports of other systems malfunctioning, Tilly publicly posted his observations on the Zenodo platform to alert experts to possible risks.
