Solar storms hasten satellite decay in Low Earth Orbit, says ISRO
Solar storms speed up satellite decay in Low Earth Orbit When the Sun erupts with solar storms, the Earth-facing side of space becomes a dynamic, sometimes hazardous environment for satellites. Recent observations and comments from space agencies highlight a notable effect: low Earth orbit (LEO) objects—ranging from communication satellites to scientific platforms—experience increased drag during…

Solar Storms Push Satellites in Low Earth Orbit Toward Lower Altitudes, ISRO Monitors Closely
Solar Storms Accelerate Satellite Decay in Low Earth Orbit Researchers and space agencies are observing an important sidelight of space weather: solar storms can accelerate the natural decay of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). During heightened solar activity, increased radiation and energetic particles interact with the outer atmosphere, heating it and causing the atmosphere…

Solar storms and LEO satellites: ISRO monitors decay
Solar storms push satellites in Low Earth Orbit toward decay In the realm of space weather, solar storms are a powerful reminder that the Sun’s activity can directly influence objects far from Earth. When charged particles erupt from the Sun and strike Earth’s upper atmosphere, they heat and expand the outer layer of our planet’s…
