Solar storms are wreaking havoc on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites. As solar activity surges toward the peak of its 11-year cycle, Starlink’s low-Earth orbit network is facing increasing threats. These geomagnetic storms heat up Earth’s upper atmosphere, increasing drag on satellites and causing them to spiral out of orbit.
The solar flare in early 2022 that destroyed 38 Starlink units was a wake-up call. With the next solar maximum expected in 2025, experts are warning of more frequent disruptions—not only to Starlink, but to GPS, aviation systems, and power grids as well. Space weather monitoring and adaptive satellite design are now critical priorities for global satellite networks.
