Satellite reveals immense scale of GPS signal tampering

An experimental satellite has revealed unprecedented levels of GPS jamming across Europe and the Middle East, with signal strength dropping dramatically in the hardest-hit areas. The Pulsar-0 satellite discovered that GPS signal degradation affects satellites in low Earth orbit far more than previously understood, highlighting vulnerabilities in navigation systems that underpin critical infrastructure like power grids and financial operations. The findings underscore growing concerns about intentional GPS jamming and spoofing, particularly from conflicts in Russia and the Middle East.
