  • SpaceX Starshield Satellites Emitting in the Wrong Direction, Raising Interference Concerns
    November 19, 2025, 5:24 AM EST. Scott Tilley, a satellite researcher, says as many as 170 SpaceX Starshield satellites are transmitting in the opposite direction, within the 2025-2110 MHz band used for uplinks. The signals were detected across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, potentially interfering with ground stations, some TV broadcasts, and backend telecoms. It's unclear whether the emissions are accidental or deliberate. Tilley calls for prompt technical and regulatory review to assess interference risk and ensure compliance with international rules. Ars Technica reports the NRO likely coordinated with SpaceX and domestic telecoms, but arrangements with other governments remain unknown. The case stresses the need for cooperative disclosure and further investigation into the signals' purpose, which could reflect wideband data use in contested environments.
