SpaceX lowering the orbits of more than 4,000 Starlink Satellites

SpaceX plans to lower the orbits of approximately 4,400 Starlink satellites from 342 miles to 298 miles above Earth by 2026. This move aims to reduce the threat to other spacecraft and lower the risk of space debris by decreasing the ballistic decay time during solar minimum. This action is part of SpaceX's commitment to improving space safety and managing the increasing congestion in low Earth orbit.
