I know I should never have started this – I can’t get that tune out of my head!!
Well, at least I came up with another verse.
Three Blind ‘lites, Three Blind ‘lites.
See how they roam, See how they roam
They all sent data to those at home
To tell us a little of what we don’t know
Too bad they end up as toast over Nome
As Three Blind ‘lites
Hope it’s not catchy. I'll stop now.

Most of it is. But by no means all. Satellites in low Earth orbit certainly encounter particles of the solar wind.
Not directly ... and not (generally) at ISS latitudes.
