A researcher at Kyoto University says the technique had only ever been tested on numbers a computer generated. He has now run it 19 times on public Starlink data and checked the answer against two European satellites that derive density from their own GPS tracking. The post SpaceX publishes Starlink orbit files three times a day so its satellites do not collide with anything else, and one week of them was enough to reconstruct the density of the air 482 kilometres up, longitude by latitude — a map its author believes is the first of its kind built from real data rather than a simulation appeared first on Space Daily .
