Rosat satellite: yet unknown if debris hit the Earth
Rome, Italy - Since Sunday, no reports
The Rosat satellite re-entered the atmosphere on last Saturday above South Asia's Bay of Bengal, but it remains unclear how much, if any, of its debris actually reached the sea's surface. Most of the 21-year-old satellite was expected to burn up as it hit the atmosphere, but up to 30 fragments weighing a total of 1.7 metric tons may have splashed into the sea. Anyway, since Sunday there were no reports...
