Satellite Signal Jamming Reaches New Lows

Cars That Think

The DOD, for example, has been designing its own LEO satellite network to supplement its more traditional geostationary constellations for more than a decade and has already begun issuing contracts for the constellation’s construction. That implies that Russia either can transmit jamming signals up to satellites, or suspects adversaries can.
