SUMMARY:

NASA said Monday that the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft would re-enter Earth’s atmosphere around 9:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, plus or minus 16 hours. The Department of Defense gave the prediction. The 272.1552 kg (600-pound) craft – about the size of a shipping container – is set to re-enter the atmosphere after it was retired by the space agency in 2018 due to communication failure.

However, the chances of the debris harming anybody are approximately 1 in 2,467, the space agency predicted. NASA does not know where the debris will fall and said the Department of Defense is constantly monitoring the satellite as it falls out of orbit.
