1. A new research paper suggests that a May solar super storm caused a significant drop in altitude for LEO satellites, leading to mass thruster firings. 2. The authors highlight the challenges in collision avoidance systems due to rapid satellite path changes and the increasing population of satellites in LEO. 3. The storm also helped accelerate the decay of space debris, contributing to the maintenance of a long-term operable environment in LEO.
