Large satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit seek to be the infrastructure for global broadband Internet and other telecommunication needs. We briefly review the impacts of satellite constellations on astronomy and show that the Internet service offered by these satellites will primarily target populations where it is unaffordable, not needed, or both. The harm done by tens to hundreds of thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites to astronomy, stargazers worldwide, and the environment is not acceptable.

卫星星座互联网的承受能力和需求

低地球轨道上的大型卫星星座试图成为满足全球宽带互联网和其他电信需求的基础设施。我们简要回顾了卫星星座对天文学的影响，并表明这些卫星提供的Internet服务将主要针对无法承受，不需要或两者兼而有之的人群。数以万计的低地球轨道卫星对天文学，全球观星者和环境的危害是无法接受的。
