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.
