This natural phonomenon happens twice a year when a satellite and a receiving earth station come directly in line with the sun. The energy from the sun interferes with the satellite's signal and causes this loss in transmission. - During two weeks each year, energy from the sun can overpower a satellite's signal. This is called a sun fade, sun transit or sun outage. These outages occur during the spring and fall, and only last for a few minutes during each occurrence. The times can be predicted, as they occur on a regular schedule.
