probability of such an uncontrolled collapse of GOCE satellite, or rather its remains, it is 0.15 percent. But just in case ?om?y?ski magistrate decided to warn people against such a possibility.
satellite would fall between 10 and 11 November, although it is difficult to determine the exact time and place.
“As announced Government Security Centre, the European GOCE satellite completed its mission in October and due to the low orbit will soon enter the dense layers of the atmosphere and burned up. expected is that a relatively large number of debris reaches the Earth. Such a process is very difficult to detailed modeling and therefore anticipate the fall of the debris will change until the last minute. Also estimates of the number of remains can be highly inaccurate due to the construction of an experimental satellite structures “- such information residents can view the official city portal www.lomza.pl.
It is not known whether it caused locals fear or amusement, it is certain, however, that the probability of such a decline in our region is marginal. Among the important information provided in the Lomza City Hall also states that the board satellites are not hazardous materials. It weighs just over 1000 kg, but the earth remains can reach a total mass of about 250 kg, probably as 40-50 fragments scattered over a length of 900 km in the belt of the general north-south course.
” With so much uncertainty as to the time of entry into the atmosphere possible crash site will include bands around the globe. One such belt passes over the eastern Polish border, “- said in a press release.
