According to Reuters Los Angeles on February 10, the US Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) said that the geomagnetic storm caused by the solar radiation explosion caused at least 40 of the company's newly launched 49 satellites to fail. The satellites are part of the Internet communications network of the company's "Interstellar Connections" program.

According to reports, Jonathan McDowell, a physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said on the 9th local time that this event is considered to be the largest collective loss of satellites caused by a single geomagnetic event. (Compilation/Flash)
