SpaceX's 40 satellites crashed due to solar storm

It has been reported that 40 of SpaceX's fleet of 49 mini-satellites launched last week, consisting of 49 pieces, got out of orbit as a result of being caught in a geomagnetic storm. It was shared that these satellites, which were newly sent to space within the scope of the Starlink internet network project, were affected by the extreme friction caused by the solar storm making the atmosphere more dense. It has been noted that SpaceX's ground controllers tried to save the flat-panel satellites by putting them in a kind of hibernation mode and flying them in a way that minimizes drag, but the satellites were unable to climb into a more stable orbit because the atmospheric gravity was too strong. SpaceX described the issue as a unique situation, emphasizing that the satellites, each weighing 260 kilograms, do not pose any danger to other satellites in orbit or to the earth. SpaceX still has nearly 2,000 Starlink satellites orbiting the earth and providing internet service to different regions.
