论文摘要
低地轨道中的大型卫星星座试图成为全球宽带互联网和其他电信需求的基础设施。我们简要回顾了卫星星座对天文学的影响，并表明这些卫星提供的互联网服务将主要针对无法承受，不需要或两者兼而有之的人群。几十千万轨卫星对天文学，世界各地的观星和环境造成的伤害是不可接受的。
Large satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit seek to be the infrastructure for global broadband Internet and other telecommunication needs. We briefly review the impacts of satellite constellations on astronomy and show that the Internet service offered by these satellites will primarily target populations where it is unaffordable, not needed, or both. The harm done by tens to hundreds of thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites to astronomy, stargazers worldwide, and the environment is not acceptable.
