It still seems unreal to me that humans will soon be flying back to the moon! They will be returning to Earth at a speed of 40.000 km/h, the fastest ever reentry of a crewed spacecraft.
To get an idea what such a reentry looks like, I made this remastered version of the Artemis 1 reentry from 2022 with trajectory data overlayed.

Want to observe satellites reentering but the location doesn't suit you? No problem, we'll change the orbits.
Where exactly did you say you want them to fall?
No joke, that's exactly what #ESA will do with the remaining Cluster satellites, in an effort for a responsible approach to reducing the ever-increasing problem of space debris :
Missed us, doing another orbit by the looks of it.
Back in ~86 minutes but further south.

If the entry #angle is too steep, deceleration forces (braking effect due to #atmospheric friction) will become too large and the spacecraft can break up 💥. The steeper the entry angle, the higher the #heat 🌡️ flux, the measure for the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the heat shield every second. If the heat flux is higher than what the heat shield material can take, the heat shield will fail – most likely it will burn 🔥 through https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2015/02/05/the-facts-on-reentry-accurate-navigation-is-everything

@gamingonlinux Currently on a bit of a #VR sim binge. #vtolvr and the recently-out-of-early-access #reentry (also in VR). Still a bit of #helldivers2 when I fancy a short blast.
Achtung Funkamateure: Wir brauchen eure Ohren im Orbit! 📡🛰️
Der Erdbeobachtungssatellit TUBIN der TU Berlin steht kurz vor seinem großen Finale. Voraussichtlich um den 16. Dezember (also schon in wenigen Tagen!) wird er wieder in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten.
Bis zur letzten Sekunde leistet TUBIN wertvolle Arbeit: Auf seinen finalen Orbits sendet er weiterhin Telemetriedaten – und hier brauchen wir die Unterstützung der Amateurfunk-Community!
So könnt ihr helfen: Der Satellit sendet alle 10 Sekunden eine Bake im UHF-Band. Wir freuen uns über jeden empfangenen Datensatz, um das Verhalten des Satelliten während des rapiden Sinkflugs zu analysieren.
📟 Die technischen Daten:
Frequenz: 435,950 MHz
Inhalt: Position, Lageregelung, Temperaturwerte
Belohnung: Das Team stellt spezielle TUBIN-Reentry-QSL-Karten in Aussicht! 🎴
📩 Helft uns, die Geschichte von TUBIN zu Ende zu schreiben. Decodierte Felder, Audiomitschnitte oder Empfangsberichte helfen uns enorm.
Alle Infos & TLEs findet ihr hier: 🔗 Projektübersicht: https://www.tu.berlin/en/raumfahrttechnik/research/current-projects/tubin 🔗 Decoding-Anleitung: https://community.libre.space/t/tubin-tubsat-27-re-entry/13998 🔗 Aktuelle TLEs: https://db.satnogs.org/api/tle/?format=3le&norad_cat_id=48900
