On June 8, Russian media reported that the "Starlink" satellites launched by Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company were falling one after another. The number of satellite falls soared to 78 in 2021, and 316 satellites burned in the atmosphere in 2024.
A research team led by physicists at NASA conducted a study on "satellite showers". After comparison, the research team found that satellite falls have a clear relationship with solar activity. But the research report points out that 70% of satellites did not fall during strong magnetic storms, but during medium and weak magnetic storms, there are still many mysteries.
