Update #10 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:45:08 AM MDT As of 10:30 a.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 100 miles by 105 miles (160 km by 170 km). Re-entry is expected late Friday, Sept. 23, or early Saturday, Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time. Solar activity is no longer the major factor in the satellite’s rate of descent. The satellite’s orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent. There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 12 to 18 hours. -----Original Message----- From: David Tiller <dtiller@captechconsulting.com> To: Michael Boschat <boschat@mathstat.dal.ca> Cc: SeeSat-L <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Fri, Sep 23, 2011 9:07 am Subject: Re: Question on URAS - hearing it If you can detect ionization trails from teeny meteors, I'm guessing that if ARS 'augers in' such that the plasma trail is situated so that echoes are ossible you'd likely hear it.
