A significant Starlink satellite Internet outage occurred, affecting users for over two hours. Civilian and military operations faced disruptions, particularly impacting those reliant on Starlink for critical services. SpaceX's vice president acknowledged the outage was due to failures in core network software. The Ukrainian military's drone operations were notably impacted, emphasizing the need for varied connectivity options in critical situations. SpaceX’s CEO and vice president both apologized for the service interruption and committed to addressing the underlying issues to prevent future occurrences.
The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," Nicolls wrote. "We apologize for the temporary disruption in our service; we are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again.
Starlink went down across the entire front," Brovdi wrote on Telegram. "Combat operations were carried out without broadcasts; reconnaissance was carried out ... using shock weapons.
Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn't happen again."
