Previous predictions suggest that satellite fragments could fall from Southeast Asia - the Western Pacific to Antarctica. Some experts warn these fragments can cause damage to people on the ground.

According to BBC, GOCE was last observed at 22h42 on November 10 international time (ie 5:42 this morning 11/11 according to VN time) above Antarctica and is expected to fall into the uninhabited sea in the east. New Zealand.

Current monitoring stations across the Earth are tracking the satellite's fall, and information about where the falling debris might be in the next few hours or days.

However, the BBC said that until now, no warning has been given about the danger posed by satellite debris.

GOCE has been launched into orbit since 2009 at a height of 260km above the sea level, then lowered to 224km, with the task of mapping Earth's gravity. It lost its altitude and was no longer stable after exhausting fuel on October 21 and is expected to fall back to the ground on November 10 or 11.

According to scientists, GOCE has collected the most accurate data on the gravitational pull of the Earth and ocean currents.
