Brilliant idea to check out this satellite. Are there any others that receive interesting frequencies? (thinking under 6GHz)

People have been tracking the actual "true" front lines since the war began with that IR "fire early warning" satellite from NASA. Turns out a satellite that's good at detecting natural fires is also good at detecting explosions / fires started by explosions.

Another interesting tracking mechanism was the use of Apples Wifi Positioning database, which allowed researchers to track front lines via Starlink wifi access points.

Do you have any links further elaborating this?
