I'll play along. If they have aspirations of denoting an EMP wouldn't it need to be at a relatively low level orbit for it to affect us? View Quote No, the enhancement effect that makes high altitude NEMP work needs altitude somewhat higher than the typical low earth orbit. It also needs a substantially powerful device. |

Quoted:
Both Reuters and CNN say the payload is in polar orbit. I'm guessing it's a prototype photo recon satellite. Israel has launched several for their own purposes, DPRK is apparently behind them technically. View Quote Polar could also be weather (like NPOESS) or telecom (like Iridium). |

Day 1 LOL... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime Detonation altitude: 250 miles Yield: Approximately 1.4 megatons. Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), which was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link. The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands. Oooooo. scary!!!! |

To be fair it is likely the impact on the mainland electric grid could be rather severe depending on some factors. And a lot of modern devices are less tolerant to spikes from the grid. But if it isn't plugged in to some sort of large atenna/current collector (stranded wires, antennas, etc), it should be fine. Flashlight? Good. Phone? Good, though the network might be down. Aimpoint? Good. Car? Probably fine. The problems from high altitude EMPs are almost solely infrastructure in nature. |
