“.. degrading satellite sensors?
How could this be???”
The sensors have been up there “For millennia” so they’re very old.
Must be due to global warming. Everything else is.
The degradation could possibly be caused by exposure to atomic oxygen which exists at the edge of our atmosphere. It can cause erosion of exposed metal on satellites.
The only reason I know about atomic oxygen erosion on satellites is someone sent me an article about it as a joke when I worked in nuclear engineering as an equipment qualification coordinator for nuclear harsh environments.
The article was interesting but totally useless for nuclear power plants!
