Impending Crash: Dead NASA Satellite to Descend on Earth Tomorrow.
TL;DR Summary
A decommissioned NASA spacecraft, the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), weighing 600 pounds, is set to reenter the Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday, with a one in 2,500 chance of causing harm to someone. While most of it is expected to burn up in the sky, some components will survive the descent. The craft was launched in 2002 to observe solar flares and coronal mass ejections and was decommissioned in 2018. This will be the second retired NASA satellite to crash into Earth this year.
