Kuiper and NSF Ink Astronomy Protection Agreement

Under a coordination agreement between Amazon's Kuiper and the National Science Foundation, the satellite operator agreed to steps such as reducing the optical brightness of satellites through physical design changes and orientation, NSF said Thursday. It said Kuiper also agreed to provide data to astronomers about satellite orbital locations and to work with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory on ensuring satellite downlinks and gateways don't cause harmful interference or damage to radio astronomy receivers.
