Starlink dishes go into "thermal shutdown" once they hit 122 Fahrenheit


A Starlink beta user in Arizona said he lost Internet service for over seven hours yesterday when the satellite dish overheated, demonstrating one of the drawbacks of SpaceX's broadband service. When the user's Internet service was disrupted, the Starlink app provided an error message saying, "Offline: Thermal shutdown." The dish "overheated" and "Starlink will reconnect after cooling down," the error message said.

Officially, SpaceX has said that "Dishy McFlatface" is certified to operate from 22° below zero up to 104° Fahrenheit. Temperatures reached about 120° yesterday in Martin's town of Topock, near Arizona's border with California, he said. Though Dishy doesn't go into thermal shutdown until it hits 122°, the dish can obviously get hotter than the air temperature.

Probably shading the thing is not really an option. Hmm.

Colder climate only use?

So heat the wave proves global warming but subzero freezes in winter don't disprove it? I've had the climate nuts tell me weather didn't the same as climate so any single vent if weather is irrelevant. Which is it?
