Satellite (UARS) would fall to Earth

Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) would fall to Earth. NASA did not know where this satellite will fall.

NASA explained that the risk of damage by the fall of the satellite will be very small. Throughout history, there has been no record of any damage caused by satellite or spacecraft re-entering the Earth. NASA is also explained, mostly, but not all, components of the satellite will burn in the atmosphere.

UARS could fall in the range of 57 degrees north latitude to 57 degrees south latitude, more or less from the territory of Canada to South America. Precise prediction of the fall of satellites it can only be done when the satellite is sent in 1991 it had entered Earth's atmosphere.

"It is impossible to determine the area where the wreckage of the satellite will fall, but NASA estimates that the traces of junk can be found in areas along the 800 km range," the statement further NASA.

UARS satellite is measuring 3 x 10 meters and weighs 5900 kg. This satellite has 10 instruments to measure wind, temperature, and examined the chemistry of ozone and the contribution of energy from the Sun. The spacecraft is in the disable in the year 2005.
