- Three tiny Australian satellites from the Curtin University’s Binar Space Program burned up in Earth’s atmosphere.
- These CubeSats – Binar-2, 3, and 4 – were placed in low Earth orbit (less than 2,000 km above the surface).
- They only lasted for two months – a third of what was expected.
- This incident points towards a current trend that is being noticed recently- high solar activity.
- Solar activity includes phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares and solar wind – the stream of charged particles that flows toward Earth.
