SATELLITE DEBRIS UPDATE: The first catalogued fragments of
shattered satellite Cosmos 2251 are about to reenter Earth's
atmosphere. According to US Strategic Command tracking data,
reentries will occur on March 12th, 28th and 30th, followed
by more in April. Radar cross sections are not available
for all of the reentering pieces; they are probably
centimeter-class fragments that pose no threat to people
on the ground. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information.
