Video: Six-ton satellite due to crash back to Earth - Telegraph

Video: Six-ton satellite due to crash back to Earth - Telegraph: "The 6.5-ton spacecraft is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere later this month, although exactly when and where is unknown."

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, was turned off in 2005, becoming another piece of space junk loitering in Earth's orbit.

A defunct Nasa science satellite dispatched by a space shuttle crew in 1991 will come crashing back to Earth this month, with debris most likely landing in an ocean or unpopulated region, officials have said.

Satellites and rocket bodies falling back to Earth are nothing new. Last year, about 400 small pieces of traceable debris returned to the atmosphere. The Russian Mir space station fell to Earth in 2001.

Spent rocket bodies re-enter at a rate of about one per week. Large spacecraft, like the 35-foot long, 15-foot diameter UARS, fall back to Earth about once a year.
