It is anticipated that the ERS-2 satellite will fragment during reentry, with the majority of its components combusting.
The European Space Agency (ESA) states that it is impossible to pinpoint the precise time and location of the reentry since it is “natural”—that is, not directed by humans.
But as the day approaches, the agency can predict more precisely what will transpire.
In its most recent prediction, which was made public on Monday, it stated that the spacecraft will hit Earth’s atmosphere on Wednesday at 11:14 a.m.
Due to the erratic solar activity, there is a margin of uncertainty, meaning the reentry might occur up to 15 hours before or after the estimated time.
The European Space Agency (ESA) published images of the spacecraft falling toward the atmosphere on Monday.
