A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting “unintended” radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.

These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That’s because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

    Aren’t satellites tested in anechoic chambers to measure radio performance and other emitted noise?

    If so, someone must have known about these radio emissions before launch.
