TIRA begleitete Wiedereintritt des Satelliten ERS-2
ESA & ressortgemeinsame Weltraumlagezentrum beauftragten FHR Wiedereintritt von ERS-2 zu begleiten. Mit einzigartigem Weltraumbeobachtungsradar TIRA (Tracking and Imaging Radar) wurden letzten Bahnen hochgenau vermessen & letzten Abbildungen von ERS-2 erzeugt. Pressemitteilung FHR. #ers2 #ESA #tira

ERS-2 tritt über dem Pazifischen Ozean wieder in die Erdatmosphäre ein
Am Mittwoch, den 21. Februar 2024, hat der ESA-Satellit ERS-2 um ca. 18:17 Uhr MEZ (17:17 UTC) seinen atmosphärischen Wiedereintritt über dem Nordpazifik abgeschlossen. Es wurden keine Sachschäden gemeldet. Eine Pressemitteilung der europäischen Weltraumagentur (#ESA). (Bild: ESA) #ers2

Any pieces that didn't get burned up in the #atmosphere would spread out "somewhat randomly" over a span of hundreds of kilometers. #ERS2 🛰️ was about as long as a city bus and weighed over 5,000 pounds. Experts say it's extremely unlikely, but not entirely impossible, that a piece of #SpaceJunk could fall out of the sky and hit someone ☠️ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/21/satellite-ers-2-tracking-space-junk/72687974007/

ヨーロッパのリモートセンシング衛星ERS-2が約30年前に任務を開始し、軌道離脱プロセスを終えて地球に安全に戻ってきたことが示される。衛星画像も多彩な色調や地形が映し出されているっぽい。 #ERS-2 #AirbusSpace

"Bus-sized European satellite crashes to Earth over Pacific Ocean" by @SpaceDotCom / @BrettTingley - NOAA radar showed debris fall where ESA said #ERS2 re-entered over the North Pacific https://www.space.com/satellite-ers-2-esa-reentry-earth-atmosphere #ERS2reentry #reentry #SpaceJunk

The European Space Agency (ESA) ERS-2 satellite re-entered the Earth's atmosphere earlier today over the North Pacific Ocean. I used a lot of radar images from this satellite in years past, but I am happy that they were able to de-orbit it and reduce potential space junk. It was some luck that it fell over the 75% of the Earth that is ocean. #ers2 #esa #radar

#ERS2 UPDATE 19:30 UTC (20:30) CET

We have confirmation of the atmospheric reentry of ERS-2 at 17:17 UTC (18:17 CET) +/- 1 minute over the North Pacific Ocean between Alaska and Hawaii. #ers2reentry

#ESA confirmed #ERS2 re-entered over the North Pacific Ocean between Alaska and Hawaii.

Update 21 February, 18:35 CET —

We have now reached the end of the final reentry window. We have received no new observations of ERS-2. This may mean that the satellite has already reentered, but we are waiting for information from our partners before we can confirm.
