The show is not over yet Astrophilians! Curiosity rises as 3 more satellites likely to crash on earth this week

Beijing, April 3: The world experienced the Chinese spacecraft Tiangong-1, which had lost control re-entered earth's atmosphere only to burn up over the South Pacific. So if you think we are done with it, hold on there. It’s hardly the last spacecraft that will have a dive to earth. In fact, by the end of the week, three more are expected to re-enter the atmosphere.

Well, if you are wondering which are the other three space craft then here it is. Heading home, one space craft piece hails from India and the other two pieces of space junk from Kazakhstan. Parts of these regular amount of cosmic debris fall on earth each year, the first one is expected to occur as early as tomorrow evening as stated by Satview.org.

The Indian Spacecraft that was launched in November 4, 2013, PSLV R/B, is expected to re-enter the atmosphere by today evening approximately by 6.30 pm. This has been followed by FLOCK 2E-3 which is a Kazakh spacecraft has been orbiting earth since November 19, 1998 by Wednesday. And that will followed by the next spacecraft FLOCK 2E’-6, another Kazakh orbital will fall to earth by Friday.

So if you thought that China’s Space Station was the end, this new intervention has grabbed attention. However unlike Tiangong 1, there’s no reason to spend a lot of time distressing about these incoming spacecraft. Chances are high that they will burn up in the atmosphere and even if pieces survive, the probabilities of being hit are fewer than one in 300 trillion.

However the number of space objects been reenter the atmosphere each year is increasing. Till date, it was just one person that has been hit with falling debris from any of them: Lottie Williams of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was hit by a six-inch piece of rocket in 1997. She walked away from the incident with no injuries.
