Nasa UARS update #10 - US hit Probable now

Ah it's alright. Never liked him dancing anyway.

But as you see I missed a very important anouncement on Dutch TV, Pauw ánd Witteman predicting it to fall in 4 hours. What shal I do, go to bed as it's 00:56 local time or wait for the thing to drop? Opening a poll for it.

You're an hour ahead of me...if it was 1.00 am here I'd go to bed

Yeah you're right. In the worst case I'll wake up dead in the morning.

Leave the computer on and just set the alarm for every 90 minutes, eventually one of the passes overnight will be the one that inevitably ends up as its last. So you'll probobally be more than lucky aswell as getting some sleep in.

yeh I'm off aswell good night

I'm still not convinced it will drop within 12 hours or so.

Anywho... 1768522 sleep well. And all ofcourse.
Take care wherever you are!

gonna hit the bunk as well, see you. If I get hit I will get famous and my goal is complete ;)

Good luck and welterusten!

Coming right over me in Florida in about 10 minutes. Cloudy here with some sunlight still above the clouds washing out the viewing. I may be able to see the next pass if it dips into the atmosphere.

The satellite is still 152 km above the earth.

It is presently passing over Costa Rica.

The satellite will be visible from Miami, Florida shortly in the East evening sky.

It will streak by like a bright star.

Latest from spaceflightnow:

0345 GMT (11:45 p.m. EDT Fri.)
The likely re-entry window has opened. NASA predicts UARS will make its fiery plunge into the atmosphere within the next 60 minutes. The satellite is south of Australia at the current time, about to fly over the Pacific Ocean toward a crossing of Canada, then the Atlantic Ocean and Africa, if UARS remains in orbit that long.
