UARS Will Reenter on Friday

UARS Will Reenter on Friday

NASA’s update today on the reentry of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) confirms that it will reenter on Friday, September 23. NASA no longer includes the plus or minus one day caveat — Friday is it.

The date is in United States time, but NASA stresses that does not mean it will reenter over the United States. “It is simply a time reference,” according to the agency’s UARS website.

Knowing the day it will reenter still does not provide a specific time and therefore specific location as to where the debris will fall. NASA will continue to update its website as the event nears.
