UARS is now officially off track! T-minus impact on earth. Make a guess where it will land!

reply to post by KonquestAbySS


clearly though

A. The satellite wasn't over that area at that time and
B the satellite is travelling in an easterly direction and the object was moving west.

How exactly would the 'broken off bits' completely turn around and reverse direction and jump location?

ETA I give up, not in the mood for talking to a brick wall

The pieces do not fly off in different directions. Some slow down faster than others but they all follow the same path.
Physics...inertia...an object in motion...

It just said on sky news this thing is 6000metric Tons and twice the size of a double decker bus!

I hope it falls in the sea because although a large part will burn up it is still going to pose a threat.

6000metric Tons! Sounds pretty heavy....I'm thinking he must have made a mistake, 6000kg, 6mT.

Who said it was going West, witnesses? The fact of the matter is we are expecting the UARS satellite to enter our atmosphere anytime, but it seems like this object fell within that time frame just a little early. So when the UARS satellite does land are we going to see it on RSOE, or hear about it? If so when?

"Went out over the Pacific" would be going west.

UARS is expected to re-enter tomorrow.

Update #9
Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:01:35 PM GMT-1000

As of 9:30 p.m. EDT Sept. 22, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 110 mi by 115 mi (175 km by 185 km). Re-entry is possible sometime during the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time. The satellite will not be passing over North America during that time period. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any more certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 hours.

Yes, we will hear about.

expected

^^Keyword Phage. I hate going against you....

So you think it re-entered on Wednesday night over Oregon and the Air Force doesn't know about it. They're still just waiting, expecting, it to re-enter tomorrow.

Ok.

This reminds me of the movie Donnie Darko....who knows, it could hit any of us while we are sleeping !!

Lets all hope we don't all start to imagine evil rabbits wearing weird masks

hi Phage,

do i understand right, that this thing is orbiting every 90 minutes?

when i looked this morning it was travelling at 5 miles per second,

so, the re-entry time calculations only need to be out by a couple of minutes to
mean the difference of maybe a 1000 miles...

they are saying it will re-enter "sometime" in the afternoon or early evening,

makes for a large window....

i thought NASA would know exactly what happen from the MANY artificial
satellites that have "decayed" over the years...

just askin'

+ i might of missed it, but is there another link to the TRACKER...???
it is overloaded... ( this one www.n2yo.com...)


thanks

+ seeya

Let's hope that at least one law of physics (inertia) remains constant for the duration as Einstein's little theory took a beating last night.

Ugh great, just heard on the news that its predicted to crash into Sydney, 7AM tomorrow. (AEST)

I live in Sydney.

this one is working fine

I just posted the RSOE link on the page before this. I'm saying what ever happen around Oregon in the ocean somwhere last night, a few hours ago. Is a possibility that was the satellite we all been expecting...Has nothing to do with Wednesday.

Wow I can't believe I missed this. The Coordinates of the event in space on the RSOE site says this:

N 42° 11.303, W 122° 41.649

Type those coordinates in google. It's Southern Oregon

So..... you didnt actually read Chadwickus's reply to you....?

Meteor sighting by the sounds of it.

A fireball streaked across the Oregon sky Wednesday evening. Described as blue or green with a small tail, the object appeared shortly after 8 p.m. Reports of the sighting ran from Portland to Southern Oregon but seemed to be focused on the Central Willamette Valley and Central Oregon Coast. The object was also spotted streaking across the sky in Central-Eastern Oregon “From everything I’ve heard, it’s not a satellite -- short duration, moving fast, changing color and went out over the Pacific,” Dick Pugh of Portland State University’s Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory told KTVZ.

Are you actually paying attention to anything thats been said or are you just randomly typing stuff?

hi Versa,
+
thanks,

but i cant seem to get that one past home page,

and now even thats gone...

"server busy"...

any more ideas? anyone? please


*star for Versa, for trying to help, thanks!

+ seeya

OK now, i got in... thanks again

Lol I wondered if a "Guess Where UARS Will Land!" thread would come up.

I'm gonna take a wild stab and sayyyyy.... Egypt, and it will hurt 3 people lol.

reply to post by Versa


Usually meteors don't have ground coordinates unless they knew something landed or hit at those exact coordinates. Earlier in this thread someone had a video that showed the satellite moving in a NW direction. Well something ended up in a NW coordinate. Where can I go from here?

"server busy"

The server is probably busy because the tracking device has been destroyed already. Probably nothing more to see, unless people are getting into the link? Updates

working fine for me.... and

What

there is no 'tracking device' its a flight path simulator........
