Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Only Me on Friday, September 23, 2011, 19:36:46 Pacific was the last I heard. I don't think they know yet. Last guess was half the world. Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Dozno9 on Friday, September 23, 2011, 19:43:53 Statistically it would be an ocean as 70% of the worlds surface is sea and the pacific is the largest mass on earth although I would love it to go through Diamond Mikes house then onto the Kassam.

Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Batch on Friday, September 23, 2011, 19:49:08 Where is it likely to hit then Not the USA. Surprisingly. The debris field will be 500 miles long. But not many bits in it as most of it will burn up. There is only a 3000-1 ish chance someone will get hit. Much much bigger that the someone would be me or you.

Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Benzel on Friday, September 23, 2011, 19:58:19 I was listening to 5Live last night, the Tony Livesey show and someone from the Shrewsbury area - near a RAF base said they saw a load of bright lights hurtling towards the ground. Could be something to do with this? That was his thoughts too... A bit early though maybe?

This conjures a lovely image of a sort of bouncing bomb effect.... :) Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Dozno9 on Friday, September 23, 2011, 20:06:58 This conjures a lovely image of a sort of bouncing bomb effect.... :) Well it could hit Diamond Mike, go forth to Didcot and then onto the Kassam. Lovely trip up the A34 for it. I await the photo of a pissed off Mongolian farmer holding a dead sheep though.

Surprisingly. I have more chances of this hitting me, than me winning the lottery :beers:The debris field will be 500 miles long. But not many bits in it as most of it will burn up.

Ha ha, where did it actually land? Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Batch on Saturday, September 24, 2011, 07:51:01 Ha ha, where did it actually land? http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/uars/index.htmlQuote from: nasa NASA’s decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24. The Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California said the satellite penetrated the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The precise re-entry time and location are not yet known with certainty. They don't know yet. Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Only Me on Saturday, September 24, 2011, 09:56:06 http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/uars/index.html It seems a little strange that they don't know for certainty where it is. I thought they could see everything from space.They don't know yet. Title: Re: This falling satellite Post by: Berniman on Saturday, September 24, 2011, 13:08:37 Canada
