GOCE satellites fall straight into the Atlantic

The European Space Agency (ESA) was relieved when it announced that GOCE had landed safely in the sea, ending concerns over the past week about the potential of misplaced landing of the satellite.

Reuters leads information from ESA, said GOCE satellites do not cause any damage in the process of falling back to earth in an uncontrolled way.

Accordingly, the satellite has fallen straight into the atmosphere about 7 pm on 11/11 (VN time) in orbit along the Siberia sky, the Western Pacific, East Indian Ocean and Antarctica.

Initial test results show that GOCE decays during the atmospheric process, and no damage has been reported.

Before ESA's satellite began to lose control, world experts feared that the rest of the GOCE could hit the residential area.

There were about 6,600 satellites launched into orbit. Above 3,600 are still floating in the space around the earth, but only about 1,000 remain active.
