A dead NASA Upper Atmosphere Research satellite fell on Earth on Saturday,k but it is not known where the crashed remains are.
It flew for long 20 years and nine days, and when it made its homecoming, nobody knows its whereabouts. Almost six years after ceasing operation, the decommissioned NASA satellite finally landed somewhere on Earth, but even NASA doesn't know the exact landing location and may never know.
NASA said 26 components of its Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), weighing a total of 1,200 pounds, could have survived the fiery fall and landed on the surface of the Earth. The space agency said the UARS fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT on Friday and 1:09 a.m. Saturday.
Finally, NASA's falling angel, the 6 ton bus-sized Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) plunged back to Earth on Saturday morning, said NASA. The defunct satellite is the biggest piece of space debris to fall from the sky since the Sky Lab in 1979.
NASA said UARS satellite debris that came crashing to Earth today appears to have dropped into the Pacific Ocean away from the western coast of the U.S. though the agency doesn't know exactly where it landed and may never know.
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon and commander of Apollo 11, said the United States risks squandering 5 decades of space research, work, and accomplishments, if the nation does not find ways to restore hope and confidence in NASA, as part of a unified sense of purpose on space exploration.

Those around the world afraid that NASA's falling UARS satellite might come crashing down upon them can rest easy. NASA said the satellite initially penetrated the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean and most of it is believed to have burned up. NASA has not confirmed where it landed, but the agency said re-entry occurred during a two-hour period.
As time ticks away toward the plunge of UARS satellite, its falling trajectory still remains unknown. According to NASA, its dead, bus-sized satellite will fall back to earth in the afternoon or early evening of Sept. 23(EDT).

NASA's huge six and a half ton Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite(UARS) continues to plummet towards the Earth and is expected to fall to the Earth sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The 20-year-old satellite was expected to fall to Earth sometime on Friday afternoon.
NASA officials and research teams spent the past few weeks playing a guessing game on where and when debris from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will land.
The latest estimates Friday morning delayed the satellite's time of re-entry and increased the possibility that Carter may encounter debris. On Thursday, NASA officials said that there was no chance that the debris would land in North America.
A defunct NASA satellite is expected to plunge back to earth on Friday, raising concerns that blazing hot debris may shower down on the unsuspecting terrestrial population.
For the first time, a map of the salinity of the ocean surface, which is a key component of the earth's surface, has been produced by NASA's new Aquarius instrument. This has provided an early glimpse of the mission's anticipated discoveries.
Finally NASA’s dead satellite will hit earth today. Now it is just a matter of few hours when a few parts of the world will witness a spectacular sky show.
