Communication with a Starlink satellite at an altitude of 560 km above Earth was lost due to an orbital anomaly, the company X announced.
“On Sunday, March 29, an orbital anomaly occurred in the orbit of Starlink satellite 34343, causing a loss of communication with the satellite at an altitude of 560 km above Earth“, the statement said.
The company noted that the outage does not pose a risk to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) and will not prevent the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II lunar mission.
“Starlink is actively working with SpaceX to determine the cause of the anomaly and will take appropriate corrective actions in a timely manner,“ the company said.
