YET ANOTHER rogue satellite to crash to Earth.....wtf

Infrastructure is introduced in phases and blocks.

Everything we use has a service life and cycle. Typical industrial equipment lasts 20-30 years, average for a "durable good", so it's not surprising that we are going to start seeing this start to happen to some generations of space-born equipment in a group.

This is roughly the same thing that is going on with our energy infrastructure, we saw so many oil pipelines go in the last two years, because a lot of the pipes were put in at the same time.

Some truth to this expanding atmosphere theory after all it seems.

kinda sounds like psy-ops to prepare the public for massive asteroid/meteor fallout

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

doom on???????

Makes sense LS, just that the odds decrease each time another one falls. Gotta take something out sooner or later!

Oh already pinned...duh!

More debri..jesus elenin quit shitting on us

Make way... Coming through....

Thanks for the pin mods! Remember somebody posting about the increased solar winds influencing satellite orbits, seems weird with everything else that's going on lately.

Maybe it will land in Wall Street!

Lol, took me by surprise too!

Expanding atmosphere? You mean, shrinking heliosphere...

""Fragments 'could hit in 50-mile-wide track' along path
Could hit anywhere from 53 degrees north and 53 south - including U.S. and UK
1 in 2000 chance it will hit someone
Satellite will hit between October 21st and 24th""

This was already posted the other day old news .

Un mois déjà que nous en parlons:
ROSAT, son nom est:

ROSAT

-5*

Must have missed it, thought that was a different one? No matter, pinned for 10 minutes! lol.

Thought so...


""ROSAT is the second satellite to plummet to Earth in a month, with the bus-sized Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) crashing down to Earth in September.
It is not known where the six-tonne UARS landed, but it is mostly likely to have hit the ocean.""
[link to www.abc.net.au]

"""If it hit you on the head you'd know about it, but never in the history of any satellite coming down has anybody on Earth been injured by one."""

Famous last words!

Place your bets!

Track it here - Show starts as it nears ... [link to www.theweatherspace.com]

yep. it keeps coming up. keeps coming from space.

"ROSAT DECAY RATE SIGNIFICANTLY EXTENDED & UNCOMMON"





[link to video.godlikeproductions.com]

Although the last one came down in Canada, I predict ROSAT will crash in the sea.

Needless to say my predictions have °EAT°-accuracy...

lol, maybe it will OCCUPY wall street.

Oh crap, it's going to land on my house then, LOL

""Solar activity causes the atmosphere to expand upwards, causing more braking on space objects. The reason UARS is coming back sooner than expected is a sudden increase in solar activity. Indeed, we expect to see a higher rate of re-entries as we approach the solar maximum in 2013," he says.

But don't expect it to be raining spaceships – what's coming down is partly a legacy of 1990s space-flight activity. "Some of the re-entries we see today [with UARS and ROSAT] are a heritage of years with high launch rates, which were a factor of two higher than they are today," says Klinkrad.

"The trend is towards smaller satellites, with more dedicated payloads," he says, rather than "all-in-one" satellite missions on giant craft like UARS. That means debris from future missions should be smaller.""

Hoorah! I'll remember that when a tiny 50 gramme piece hits my head at 17,000 mph!

Ahh! I remember this article now! Thanks Blueacres

I'll have better stuff when it nears, the final 12 hours. It'll be a live studio broadcast with green screen, audio, chat, etc ...
UARS' show was fun, 500,000 people attended !

It'll be a missile when it arcs downward.

good point!
