"Scientists Update Timing for Impending Earth Crash of Doomed European Satellite"

The European Remote Sensing 2 (ERS-2) satellite, which ended its mission in 2011, is set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere in the next week, but scientists are unable to predict where it will land. The European Space Agency (ESA) has updated the estimated re-entry time to February 21 at 12:10pm GMT, with a margin of error of 26 hours. The uncontrolled re-entry will cause the satellite to break up into pieces, most of which will burn up upon re-entry, posing low risks. The ESA's Space Debris Office is monitoring the satellite's orbit decay and will provide regular updates leading up to re-entry.
