Satellites in Low Earth Orbit Affected by Bad Space WeatherSatellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) can deviate from their expected trajectories when bad space weather occurs, causing problems for the International Space Station, China's Tiangong space station, and Earth-observing satellites. The accuracy of these satellites is affected by space weather, with the lower altitudes experiencing a bigger problem due to the variations in Earth's upper atmosphere density. Higher density leads to more drag, slowing down the satellites and causing them to sink towards Earth.
