Blaze_Zewi Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So, is Nasa going to get done for littering? Nasa ain't the only one, the there's other space agency that are littering in space too.... :whistle: Future earth will have a nice big space junk ring around it or rather a shield :p Teacher: So class whats the layer after the Exosphere layer is called? Yes thats right class its call an space-junko-sphere. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 The nearly 12,500-pound (5,668-kilogram) satellite will fall over a stretch of land more than 500 miles (804 kilometers) long somewhere between northern Canada and southern South America. Well that narrows it down. Hmm ... For your information, on September 15th the Russian Space Forces have told that UARS fragments will fall into the Pacific Ocean (18 S, 173 E) on September 23rd. Roughly around Tonga. Be there. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexcyn Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So they updated to say it won't be over NA, but they still don't know exactly where it will hit: As of 7 a.m. EDT Sept. 22, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 115 mi by 120 mi (185 km by 195 km). Re-entry is expected sometime during the afternoon of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time. The satellite will not be passing over North America during that time period. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any more certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 to 36 hours.

Hum Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 A satellite whose orbit is degrading is likely to crash back to Earth on Friday, and 26 pieces have a good chance of surviving the heat of re-entry, NASA said. Components made of titanium, aluminum, steel and beryllium. "These 26 components, which we anticipate will survive all the way down, will be going at a moderate velocity of tens to hundreds of miles an hour." It will be hard to predict closely when it will plunge back to Earth until about two hours before it actually does. Despite being pretty sure that the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, will re-enter the atmosphere sometime Friday afternoon, U.S. time, NASA says there is no way to know where it will fall. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is laying the groundwork for a fast response in case the 6 1/2-ton spacecraft falls over American soil.

DocM Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 NASA Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite Reentry Update Update #10 Friday, 23 Sep 2011As of 10:30 a.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 100 miles by 105 miles (160 km by 170 km). Re-entry is expected late Friday, Sept. 23, or early Saturday, Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time. Solar activity is no longer the major factor in the satellite's rate of descent. The satellite's orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent. There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 12 to 18 hours.

Hum Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 U.S. is in falling satellite's potential strike zone Miami (CNN) -- A satellite on the verge of falling back to Earth appears to have begun slowing down but will not re-enter the atmosphere until late Friday or early Saturday U.S. time, according to NASA. NASA said Friday morning that it would be hours before it would be able to zero in on the time and place of the re-entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
