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.
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.
A defunct satellite originally meant to analyze the Earth’s ozone layer is expected to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere and crash land Friday, according to reports from NASA released Thursday.
The weather forecast for North America is a good one on Friday: Little chance of falling satellite debris.That may seem like a lark, but it's not, since NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, will likely crash into Earth on Friday. The satellite is the size of a bus, and it's the biggest to make an uncontrolled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in decades, NASA officials say.
A dead 6.5 ton NASA UARS satellite would make its re-entry in to Earth on Friday, Sept.23, bringing along a chance to watch a spectacular sky show.
The six-ton defunct Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will plunge to Earth sometime on Friday afternoon EDT, and the U.S. wil be spared any debris, NASA said in its latest update.
NASA has unveiled plans of $1.6 billion to buy a complete range of spacecrafts, launchers, mission operations and ground support by the middle of the decade to transport astronauts to the International Space Station and low Earth orbit.
Science teacher James Drake compiled 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s to create a time-elapsed 60-second video which gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
China is all set to launch its first unmanned space module on Tuesday. The world's third biggest country will launch the test module into orbit via Long March II-F rocket, which is developed by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
Ever wondered what it would be like soaring high above the Earth, or even circling the planet on the International Space Station? Thanks to science educator James Drake, you're in luck.
The biggest satellite to fall to Earth in decades will come crashing down in the new few days. And while odds are not good that a person will be hit -- officials can't rule that out.
Merging 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s, science teacher, James Drake, has created a time-lapsed 60-second video to give the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
A defunct NASA satellite the size of a bus is set to plunge through the Earth's atmosphere sometime this weekend, with officials still uncertain exactly where it is going to land.
NASA unveiled its plans to buy a complete range of spacecrafts, launchers, mission operations and ground support by the middle of the decade to provide astronauts with transportation service to the International Space Station and low-Earth orbit.
If you are one of those who dream of going into the space and have a look back at the blue planet, science educator James Drake has something for you to offer. Drake has created a minute-long video that gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see the planet.
Astronauts in space are exposed to a newly identified medical condition, something that NASA should consider seriously. It is the blurring vision of some of the astronauts who have spent months in space that has made NASA think about possible impacts it may have on long-term space trips.
Watch the skies this Friday as a defunct NASA satellite is expected make a fiery re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere.
NASA astronauts will soon get their own space taxi to shuttle between the International Space Station and the Earth, the space agency said on Monday.
A defunct NASA satellite is set to descend into the Earth's atmosphere this weekend, but the U.S. space agency says it has no clue where it will land.
NASA officials on Monday said that they are planning to spend about $1.6 billion for the next two years to strengthen the industry efforts to develop space taxis.
Streaks of green light were captured along the earth’s southern hemisphere in a video as the International Space Station (ISS) hovered over Aurora Australis or Southern Lights.
