flag Solar activity destroyed three Curtin University satellites, impacting low Earth orbit operations.

flag The Sun's heightened activity has led to the premature destruction of three small satellites from Curtin University's Binar Space Program, which burned up in Earth's atmosphere after just two months. flag Increased solar activity raises charged particles and ionizing radiation, affecting satellite orbits and increasing atmospheric drag. flag This issue impacts operations of satellites in low Earth orbit, including the International Space Station and Starlink. flag The solar activity is expected to decrease by 2026 and reach a minimum in 2030.
