Re: ALERT!!! Nasa Satellite 'To Hit Earth Within Hours'
Amateurs predicted Indonesia. So will it make another flyover? I mean its still in the thermosphere yet.
 Quoting: Xertious


It flowovers the entire globe in about 2 hours, so I believe there will be some more flyovers until it's down. Losing altitude again, but at a very slow pace.

The telemetry is confusing because aerodynamic resistance to it's forward momentum is changing due to it's parabolic orbit and the skipping stone effect. A different shape may have already re entered the troposphere and impacted the earth

At approximately what altitude will it begin to break up?

It is slowly recovering altitude in the last few minutes. Doom has to wait some hours.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1573543


Can anyone explain how it recovers altitude?

damned
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1527796

i think it's because land masses are higher than the ocean.

Again, its not flying towards anything as of yet. Its not even broken through mesosphere yet (where meteors burn up).

Is it going to hit DC? IS that why Obama is out in Denver?

One would think it would only gain altitude once per revolution, but perhaps it is skipping off the atmosphere.

The orbit doesn't go over USA in the next hours, so it's impossible for that to happen.

Yeah I said it before in my Volcano thread. They are rocket scientists! How can they not figure it out. I mean I don't know maybe there are too many variables.

yeah, that's it, unless it still has some maneuverability left and is being directed away from populated areas. Would be a nasty situation to have it come down in russia or china, especially if it is nuclear powered like I suspect it is.
