An out-of-control bus-sized satellite, the European Space Agency's defunct 5,550-pound ERS-2, is projected to hurtle through Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday morning. After nearly three decades in space, it is expected to break into pieces and disintegrate around 11 a.m. EST. The remaining fragments are anticipated to fall into the ocean, as per the latest ESA projections. Officials have assured that the risks associated with satellite reentries are very low. The exact timing and location of the satellite's uncontrolled reentry cannot be determined precisely, as it is a natural process. ERS-2, launched in 1995, was Europe's most sophisticated Earth observation spacecraft at the time. It gathered valuable data about oceans, continents, ice caps, and monitored natural disasters until its mission ended in 2011. Over the past 13 years, the satellite was gradually taken out of orbit in preparation for its return to Earth. Images of the satellite descending towards Earth were captured by HEO Robotics last week.
