In the statements made by NASA and the US Department of Defense, it was stated that the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (Rhessi) satellite will enter the atmosphere in the evening according to the east coast time zone of the USA.
THE RISK OF DAMAGE TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD…
In the statement, it was stated that most of the 272-kilogram spacecraft will burn during its journey in the atmosphere, but some parts are expected to fall to Earth. Emphasizing that the risk of harming anyone in the world is low, it was noted that this probability is about 1 in 2,467.
Launched into orbit in 2002, the satellite has captured over 100,000 solar events until 2018, when it “retired” due to communications problems. (AA / Photo source: NASA)
