UARS




I guess it finally broke up and reentered the atmosphere sometime after 10:30 PM 23 September 2011 local time Seattle Washington. The last I saw it on the graphic display was that it was approaching or very close to Australia. After that I can't get the graphic display and the status is listed as 'Decayed.'
