ESA and IAU Collaborate to Address Satellite Interference with Astronomy

The European Space Agency (ESA) and the International Astronomical Union's Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky (IAU CPS) have formalized an agreement to enhance cooperation. This partnership aims to develop technical solutions and mitigate the growing impact of satellite constellations on astronomical observations. The collaboration seeks to address challenges posed by reflected light and radio frequency interference, which affect both professional astronomy and stargazing.
