"Doomed ERS-2 Satellite's Fiery Reentry to Earth Imminent"

The European Space Agency's ERS-2 satellite, launched in 1995 and decommissioned in 2011, is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere on February 21, 2024. Images captured by HEO Robotics show the satellite's descent towards Earth. The reentry is carefully planned to ensure the satellite does not collide with other spacecraft or space debris, and most fragments are expected to burn up in the atmosphere or fall into the ocean without containing toxic or radioactive substances.
