Is it a coincidence? Why did the satellite receive the signal again after being "lost" for many years?

Satellites can actually come back to life

By adalberto alejandrinaPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

A satellite launched before was launched more than 40 years ago, and it has been out of contact for more than 40 years now. Just two years ago, a data signal was suddenly received by biologists. It is reasonable to say that this should be It's an incredibly happy thing, according to the biologists' research, but it's not happy at all.

The following is the first US satellite into orbit, LES-1, which was launched into orbit in 1965.

The most violent situation of the US-Soviet hegemony happened to be the case of the launch of the LES-1 satellite. The former Soviet Union's production of satellites gave the United States a driving force. The human satellites produced by the former Soviet Union have long been ahead of the United States in terms of technology and various fields. In order to better surpass the technology of the former Soviet Union, the United States undoubtedly thinks of all feasible ways to catch up with the former Soviet Union. Another reason is that the artificial satellites of the United States have been launched in a hurry.

In 1958, a nuclear warhead exploded at China's Pacific Test Site, which happened to be an experimental product from the United States. Because the nuclear warhead was not sound enough, there was no precaution against the power of the nuclear bomb, and there was no cognitive ability. Therefore, the troposphere was destroyed, causing surrounding damage. Most of them are common failures of the information management system. The United States made a rescue by launching an artificial satellite in 1965.

LES-1 became the name of the satellite, which was launched at Cape Canaveral in order to better save the destruction of the troposphere.

Because the launch was in a hurry and a comprehensive inspection was not carried out, some areas or problems occurred in the wiring, which was not noticed before.

After the launch, it was because of this problem that it failed to reach orbit successfully, and the estimated overall goal was not achieved. The satellite was abandoned by the United States in 1966. The LES-1 satellite was out of contact and was not working, and like space junk, it also revolved around the earth until 2013.

After 40 years, this satellite can be "resurrected"

The stage of rapid development of artificial satellites was in the 1950s, and the number of satellites in orbit continued to increase, and everything was working normally according to people's instructions. The lost LES-1 satellite has long been useless for people, and has long since disappeared in people's world, and no one still remembers it.

At this time, it is surprising that the data signal of this satellite was discovered according to wireless communication, although it is not very clear, according to the comparison, it has its own difference. This piece of data signal was sent to the Internet and attracted the attention of many people, and it was finally discussed that it was the data signal of the LES-1 satellite that had been lost for more than 40 years.

After three years, photographers discovered that the LES-1 satellite pushed data signals forward to the earth, and the satellite that had been out of contact for such a long time actually happened.

Lost satellites are just like waste. They have no use value for all applications. All kinds of machinery and equipment on the satellites will be turned off, and it is not easy to transmit data signals again, so they become space junk.

It is very likely that some of the program processes of the satellite have been stimulated again. Biologists think that the solar panels in the satellites can receive the amount of solar radiation, and they still function after such a long period of time. Like electricity, you can transmit data signals.

What are the experts worried about?

After a long time, people have launched more and more satellites into space, but they have no ability to retrieve them. The service life of satellites is certain. After reaching the goal, they still operate in orbit. Satellites, most of which operate in orbit, will become more and more congested in that area, there will be more and more space junk, and the retrieval technology is not perfect.

If it falls into the earth's atmosphere, it is likely to be ignited. If it falls into a key area of ​​​​the population, the adverse effects will be unpredictable. If there is a more practical satellite launch process, it is likely to be endangered by a lot of space junk. Now more and more space junk cannot be retrieved, which is a key concern for biologists.
