Might sleep in the basement tonight...

HOVIS 9th May 2025 20:03

Best guess then. Anyone?
I'll throw in Eastern Med/North Africa.

ea200 9th May 2025 23:00

I'll take a punt on Indian ocean. Seem a popular place to dump things these days.

HOVIS 10th May 2025 04:44

Heads up!
Down to 75 miles and doesn't seem to be going back up again...

B Fraser 10th May 2025 05:15

Most odd, now at 98 miles and climbing. I guess it skipped off the top of the atmosphere which will have reduced the speed, the next descent may be the final plunge.

B Fraser 10th May 2025 05:24

Now at 106 miles and levelling off. The UK is about 45 minutes "ahead" of the current path. I may go outside and look up :uhoh:

treadigraph 10th May 2025 05:28

Hmm, I've got time to do my exercises and have a shower!

B Fraser 10th May 2025 05:33

Now at 102 miles and heading towards Slough. Place your bets !

B Fraser 10th May 2025 05:41

90 miles and heading north east across the coast of Peru...........

treadigraph 10th May 2025 05:42

Slough might be a bit ambitious then...

treadigraph 10th May 2025 05:50

It seems to have disappeared off N2YO over Peru. Has it come down then?

B Fraser 10th May 2025 05:55

Try....... COSMOS 482 DESCENT CRAFT - NORAD 6073 - 3D Online Satellite Tracking

B Fraser 10th May 2025 06:06

Now over Europe at 124 kms / 74 miles up. Pakistan and India ahead, what could possibly go wrong ?

treadigraph 10th May 2025 06:09

Oh well. I sat in the garden for a few minutes and communed with the early bee traffic...

B Fraser 10th May 2025 06:16

It seems to have bottomed out at 73 miles and now climbing, possibly a few more trips around the earth to go.

MostlyHarmless 10th May 2025 06:23

n2yo seems to be having capacity problems...

....and ESA seem to have thrown in the towel with predictions!

treadigraph 10th May 2025 06:44

It's a bit of a tease then...

MostlyHarmless 10th May 2025 07:28

Try
- they're usually pretty good quality content

From ESA:


The descent craft was seen by radar systems over Germany at approximately 04:30 UTC and 06:04 UTC, corresponding to 06:30 CEST and 08:04 CEST, respectively. There is no further update on the estimated reentry window as we are now roughly in the centre, corresponding to the red dot labeled COIW (centre of impact window) in the ground track track chart below.

n2yo site is saying it's no longer on orbit / unable to track it.

This site has a display that appears to be still tracking it, as to its accuracy, who knows ?

Plug in the Name / Norad ID of 6073
