Geomagnetic storm sends 40 SpaceX satellites plummeting to Earth
Posted by Jeffrey L. Lee in categories: Elon Musk, satellites
Elon Muskâs company launched a Falcon 9 rocket bearing the 49 satellites from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday (Feb. 3), but a geomagnetic storm that struck a day later sent the satellites plummeting back toward Earth, where they will burn up in the atmosphere.
âUnfortunately, the satellites deployed on Thursday were significantly impacted by a geomagnetic storm on Friday,â SpaceX said in a statement. âPreliminary analysis show[s] the increased drag at the low altitudes prevented the satellites from leaving safe mode to begin orbit-raising maneuvers, and up to 40 of the satellites will reenter or already have reentered the Earthâs atmosphere.â
The satellites were hit by the storm just one day after launch.[/s].

SpaceX preparing the ultimate backdrop for Elon Muskâs Starship update
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: Elon Musk, space travel
For the third time, SpaceX has installed Super Heavy Booster 4 (B4) on Starbaseâs lone orbital launch mount, kicking off preparations for CEO Elon Muskâs upcoming presentation.
In a decision that is difficult to logically explain, however, SpaceX chose to install Super Heavy on the âorbital launch mountâ with a crane instead of a complex pair of giant arms explicitly designed to lift, stack, and catch Starship hardware that the company has spent the last several months installing and testing.
This does not make a great deal of sense. One obvious explanation would be that those arms â despite completing multiple lift tests with hundreds of tons of water bags in recent weeks â are not ready for lifting and stacking operations. However, Starbase does not have a crane large enough to lift Starship S20 onto Booster 4, meaning that SpaceX almost certainly intends to use the towerâs arms to do so.

Elon Muskâs brain-implant startup Neuralink may have misled regulators about Muskâs leadership role
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: computing, Elon Musk, government, law, neuroscience
Neuralink, the startup cofounded and run by Elon Musk that hopes to implant computer chips in peopleâs brains, may have misled federal securities regulators about the billionaire entrepreneurâs role at the company.
Thatâs according to government documents and Fortune interviews with securities lawyers and a half-dozen former employees of the company. The employees mostly spoke anonymously out of concern for violating nondisclosure agreements and possible retaliation from Musk.
The episode involves a 2018 letter in which an attorney representing Neuralink downplayed Muskâs leadership role at the company in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The attorneyâs characterization contradicts former employeesâ accounts, which depict Musk as very much in charge. Neuralink and the attorney involved in the filing did not respond to requests for comment. lawyer for Neuralink told the SEC that Musk had âno executive or management roleâ at the company. Former employees say thatâs far from the truth.
