The latest word about Salyut 7 from the U.S. Space Command is that it will re-enter the atmosphere over the Mediterranean Sea today (February 6) at about 8:15 PM (PST). This prediction has an uncertainty of plus or minus two hours. If the prediction holds true, then Salyut 7 will be over northern Italy as it make its entry, and any debris reaching Earth would fall over Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. It is also unlikely that the troops in the Persian Gulf would be able to see the expected fireball. ___ _____ ___ /_ /| /____/ \ /_ /| Ron Baalke | baalke@mars.jpl.nasa.gov | | | | __ \ /| | | | Jet Propulsion Lab | ___| | | | |__) |/ | | |___ M/S 301-355 | It's 10PM, do you know /___| | | | ___/ | |/__ /| Pasadena, CA 91109 | where your spacecraft is? |_____|/ |_|/ |_____|/ | We do!
