SpaceX sent a short email to ESA saying they would not move their satellite. It's not clear why - they didn't mention if the satellite was active or not, apparently (ESA weren't even aware what the satellite was). (2/5)

ESA have been pretty frustrated with SpaceX so far. There has been very little communication regarding Starlink, despite repeated attempts by ESA to contact them (this is the first email SpaceX had sent). (3/5)

As to why Aeolus had to move and not Starlink, my source just said "in space there are no rules". Basically, SpaceX said they wouldn't move. So Aeolus had to move. (ESA said they were glad they knew one way or the other, however) (4/5)

I'm a physicist, not a lawyer.
As a physicist, I could calculate probability of orbital collisions, but I can't tell you what the acceptable risk is or what the norms should be. - Antworten anzeigen

I believe space law says you can’t threaten another country or entity’s spacecraft

Collision with another Sat is one way to test "deorbit" techniques...
