TL;DR Summary
Satellite operator HawkEye 360 is facing propulsion troubles in orbit due to an "irreparable" failure of propulsion systems made by Enpulsion, compounded by high solar activity. The company's Cluster 4 spacecraft are currently operating at a lower orbital altitude as a result. This follows previous reports of Capella Space satellites experiencing premature de-orbiting due to solar activity and propulsion issues.
