| NOAA's polar-orbiting satellites NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 were not "switched off" unexpectedly, but rather decommissioned in 2025 due to their age and the risk of failure, with the NOAA-18 shutting down first due to a critical transmitter failure and NOAA-19 due to its impending end of mission life. The decision was made to prevent potential malfunctions that could create space debris, as these older satellites lacked the propulsion to de-orbit themselves. |
