>>>Satellite weighs 1 ton, about to fall to Earth

According to the report on the European Space Agency's homepage, this GOCE is responsible for setting up gravity variations maps and ocean circulation research on Earth, weighing 1.2 tons, showing how Left The land is 160km and is falling at a speed of 13km a day. According to scientists, most satellites will be ignited when entering the atmosphere, however, about 25% of the remaining GOCE (50 fragments) will be collided with the Earth's surface within next two days.

With two-thirds of the area being water and sea, along sparsely populated lands, the ability to threaten human life and valuable property when the earth satellite is extremely low.
