Already Satellite Falling to Earth

U.S. space agency, NASA believes they have fallen trashy satellite from its orbit. They believe the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) falls on a Saturday morning U.S. time. Currently, researchers are sure where the satellite debris will fall.

"We think that debris has fallen now," the NASA statement as reported by foxnews.com, Saturday, September 24, 2011.


"We are awaiting confirmation from the Command Setrategis America where the fall while still monitoring debris in the sky."

The satellite's 20-year-old previously targeted to fall to Earth on Friday or Saturday. Canada and countries in Africa is estimated to be the crash site rubble UARS.

On the way to Earth, the satellite was destroyed on fire because of friction with the atmosphere. However, it is estimated there are 26 sections that remain intact when arrived at the earth's surface.

Increased solar activity until Friday to make this a bus-sized satellite falls to earth faster. However, at the end of Friday, NASA says the sun is not a major factor affecting the speed of the fall of this satellite.

Yesterday, NASA said the most likely satellite weighing 6.5 tonnes would fall from its orbit on Friday at 11:45 pm to 12:45 pm local time Saturday. On Friday, it was orbiting satellites across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, and then to Africa and Canada.

Atmospheric monitoring satellite was launched in 1991 ago. The satellite was declared no longer in operation in 2005.

The possibility of debris upon men is 1/3.200. The fall of the satellite is expected to be in the ocean surface.
