The SpaceX Dragon is currently at the ISS on a mission. "sat" could mean satellite, of which the ISS is one. The Dragon has solar panels. Perhaps there is an issue regarding the Dragon.
"In orbit, the CRS-9 Dragon is nearing the end of its mission berthed to the International Space Station (ISS). One of the most important pieces of hardware delivered by CRS-9 was the first of two International Docking Adapters. They will be used for commercial crew flights by SpaceX’s Crew Dragon and Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner.
Dragon is expected to be unberthed and deorbited on Aug. 26. It will splashdown off the coast of Baja California to be recovered."
