Starlink ‘Explosions’ Not Accidents
Recent Re-entries
In January 2025, 120 Starlink satellites re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and burned up, marking a significant increase due to the retirement of first-generation satellites. By February 23, 2025, no additional re-entries were reported. These events are part of SpaceX’s strategy to refresh its constellation every five years, replacing older models with advanced technology (Elon Musk’s Starlinks Are Crashing: 120 Satellites Fell From Space in January 2025).
