Three of the satellites belong to HawkEye 360, a startup that aims to &#8220;see&#8221; radio-wave emissions all over Earth. HawkEye 360&#8217;s software will identify each unique radio signal and use it to track &#8220;dark ships&#8221; that may be trying to hide illegal activities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">[..] The antennas of Pathfinder can detect a wide range of radio signals above about 1 watt in power. [..] This means the cluster can triangulate normally hard-to-pinpoint signals from satellite phones, push-to-talk radios, and marine radar. [..] In the future, they aim to launch five more three-satellite clusters, which will create a constellation that can map Earth&#8217;s radio signals once every 30 to 40 minutes. [..] Another planned use of Pathfinder is more down-to-earth: The technology could detect improper use of the radio-frequency spectrum, including interference between cell-phone towers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank you for the tip,\u00a0Bal\u00e1zs!<\/p>\n<p>I also discovered the following short video which introduces and describes the system:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/51rlXm9Gzh8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/51rlXm9Gzh8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sounds like an amazing system although it certainly does feel a little &#8220;big brother&#8221;&#8211;!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bal\u00e1zs Kov\u00e1cs, who shares the following: Hi Thomas, Just found: the launch of the SpaceX&#8217;s Falcon 9 rocket was delayed today, part of the load is a new radio-wave emission seeker satellite system the Pathfinder from HawkEye 360: https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/spacex-to-launch-70-satellites-radio-tracking-2018-11 Some parts from the article: &#8220;An unprecedented rocket mission for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[6897,7430,7431],"class_list":["post-34908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-balazs-kovacs","tag-hawkeye-360","tag-spacex"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pn3uc-952","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":46929,"url":"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/2020\/12\/radio-waves-new-siriusxm-satellite-tour-of-chu-icom-id-52-delay-and-grants-prototype-broadcast-receiver\/","url_meta":{"origin":34908,"position":0},"title":"Radio Waves: New SiriusXM Satellite, Tour of CHU, Icom ID-52 Delay, and Grant&#8217;s Prototype Broadcast Receiver","author":"Thomas","date":"December 14, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Radio Waves:\u00a0 Stories Making Waves in the World of Radio Because I keep my ear to the waves, as well as receive many tips from others who do the same, I find myself privy to radio-related stories that might interest\u00a0SWLing Post\u00a0readers.\u00a0 To that end:\u00a0Welcome to the\u00a0SWLing Post\u2019s Radio Waves, a\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;AM&quot;","block_context":{"text":"AM","link":"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/category\/am\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Kenwood-R-2000-Dial.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Kenwood-R-2000-Dial.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Kenwood-R-2000-Dial.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Kenwood-R-2000-Dial.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":36721,"url":"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/balazs-spots-a-hallicrafters-in-the-walking-dead\/","url_meta":{"origin":34908,"position":1},"title":"Bal\u00e1zs spots a Hallicrafters in &#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221;","author":"Thomas","date":"March 30, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bal\u00e1zs Kov\u00e1cs, who writes: Hi Thomas, Some radio fixing and a plan to create a radio connection between the survivor settlements in the latest (shocking) episode of The Walking Dead (S09E15): Very cool, Bal\u00e1zs--thanks for sharing!
