How Dare You Transmit at 1.4 GHz!

NASA's SMAP satellite, known for measuring soil moisture, has unexpectedly detected unauthorized radio frequency emissions in the 1.4 GHz band, which is typically reserved for peaceful observation. These emissions are suspected to be military jamming signals occurring over Ukraine, Crimea, and parts of Russia, indicating electromagnetic warfare. The findings were made using open-source data and Python, highlighting the potential of climate satellites in identifying real-time electronic conflicts.
