Newer calculations showed that if the Starfish Prime warhead had been detonated over the northern continental United States, the magnitude of the EMP would have been much larger ( 22 to 30 kilovolts / metre ) because of the greater strength of the Earth's magnetic field over the United States, as well as the different orientation of the Earth's magnetic field at high latitudes.

Starfish, such as the ochre sea star ( Pisaster ochraceus ) have become widely known as an example of the keystone species concept in ecology.

Starfish Prime also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link.

Although these weapons were much smaller ( 300 kiloton or 1. 3 PJ ) than the Starfish Prime test, since those tests were done over a populated large land mass ( and also at a location where the Earth's magnetic field was greater ), the damage caused by the resulting EMP was reportedly much greater than in the Starfish Prime nuclear test.

In the Starfish Prime nuclear test, most satellite damage was due to damage to the solar panels from satellites passing through radiation belts created by the high altitude nuclear explosion.

The REX firmware was written by Starfish Software, and the hardware was manufactured by Citizen Electronics.

Starfish would later be acquired by Motorola.

Soviet officials claimed that manned spaceflights were impossible for a time due to a high-altitude nuclear test by the United States — probably Starfish Prime.

During the Hardtack Teak test in 1958 observers noted the damaging effects of the electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) caused by the explosions on electronic equipment, and during the Starfish Prime test in 1962 the EMP from a 1. 4 Mt warhead detonated over the Pacific damaged three satellites and also disrupted power transmission and communications across the Pacific.

The nearly flat area just east of the Y-junction on Chew Hill was initially chosen as a Starfish site area to be lit by fires to simulate Bristol in flames.

Starfish move using a water vascular system.

This means that although a 10 kiloton weapon has only 0. 7 % of the total energy release of the 1. 44-megaton Starfish Prime test, the EMP will be at least 8 % as powerful.

Since the E1 component of nuclear EMP depends on the prompt gamma ray output, which was only 0. 1 % of yield in Starfish Prime but can be 0. 5 % of yield in pure fission weapons of low yield, a 10 kiloton bomb can easily be 5 x 8 % = 40 % as powerful as the 1. 44 megaton Starfish Prime at producing EMP.

Starfish Prime, a high altitude nuclear test, created an artificial radiation belt that damaged or destroyed as many as one third of the satellites in low earth orbit at the time.
