NASA satellite crashed into the Pacific Ocean and went missing

On September 25, scientists from the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) said that it has not yet determined the exact point of the satellite studying NASA's UARS upper atmosphere . NASA scientists believe that most fragments of a 20-year-old satellite, weighing about 6 tons, have plunged into the Pacific and are likely to disappear.

There have been no reports of damage caused by UARS when it 'landed' on Earth around 5:00 am on September 24 (GMT), or about 12 o'clock, in Hanoi time.

According to Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, it is likely that many of the satellite fragments have fallen into areas like Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Calgary, Alberta, Saskatoon and Saskatchewan are in western Canada. The information then quickly spread on Twitter.

However, NASA scientist Nick Johnson said the above information is unreliable.

UARS satellites carry 10 scientific devices used to measure temperature, wind power, atmospheric components . launched from the ground in 1991 and by 2005 it officially ended the mission.

According to NASA's previous calculations, the UARS satellite will explode and ignite before it lands, about 26 fragments of it (totaling about 544kg and the largest piece not exceeding 136kg) can pass through the atmosphere, falling to an area of ​​up to 800km between 57 ⁰ north latitude and 57 ⁰ south latitude.

In accordance with US law, when citizens discover that 'cosmic garbage' is absolutely not stored, it must be handed over to the authorities because it is a national property.
